Hi Filmbuff.
I've had 3 sessions of UV. The first UVB worked quite well, up to 90% clearance, sadly it only lasted a fortnight before the dreaded Ps returned. The second session the Ps started to return about 2/3 of the way through so it was decided to terminate the treatment, but at the time I was under severe stress loosing my Dad to liver cancer, so I doubt anything g would have helped then. The third time it was UVA where you take tablets to sensitise your skin and they cook you until medium rare. This cleared a lot up within 4 or 5 sessions but as with the UVB it started to fail towards the end of treatment.
As Dave has said though we are all individuals and I have heard of sufferers achieving several years of remission - you just never know
It's a black art treating this disease
