Kathy - good question... I honestly do not know. No one ever mentioned it to me so I assumed they hadn't - but I could be wrong... I did ask my doc's assistant via email but she never responded to that specific question...

Carpe Diem!!
38, non-smoker, otherwise perfect health. Biopsy: 3/8/2012, SCC Dx Right Underside Tongue: 3/12/2012, Surgery: 4/11/2012 Partial Gloss + Neck Dissection to remove 29 nodes (all clear). No Rads or Chemo req'd. I believe my SCC was caused by product used in dental work.
