I'm a 52 year old man living in the Thousand Oaks area of California. I was diagnosed 12/9/10 with SCC in one of 4 lymph nodes removed from the left side of my neck. On 1/13/11 I had a diagnostic tonsilectomy and biopsy of my mouth. I will get the results on 1/20/11. I have had no other treatment yet. I do have my ENT, radiologist, oncologist and dentist in place.
