Saturday I took my son to get his wisdom tooth pulled and they found what looks to be squamous cell carcinoma behind where the tooth was impacted. I was a basket case most of the day and night. Won't be for sure until a specialist looks at it and test it but thougt i would come here and do my thing, post my stories and leave bread crumbs for those that follow behind us for any information they may need and hope to be of help to them.
I will try to post every time i get more information, right now i'm just gathering info on the types of cancers and treatments for it and the different stages, what determines the stages, and gathering in my mind things that are relevant that led up to this.. weight loss, yes, hoarseness, yes, throat infection that looked like mono or strep, yes, smoker yes, just so much to think about.


Dentist found probable squamous cell carcinoma behind my son's impacted wisdom tooth. He goes back this week for a recheck and referral to a specialist.
