If it were me I would go to Mayo clinic. Your odds for survival are optimized at a comprehensive cancer center. They may have provision for providing lodging for your family while there.
By the way it's actually SCC not SQC.
Were you a pipe smoker? -that type of cancer is fairly typical of pipe smokers. My grandfather had that.
