Hi Robin,

For one to even begin to speculate on your situation would be irresponsible and cause you undue stress. It's not cancer until they say it's cancer. That being said, I prepared myself to hear the words I was dreading.

I had an examination on Nov. 21st 2012. At that time a scope was done and a FNAB. I asked the ENT to tell me straight up what he "thought" it was and he said: "This is cancer. I don't know what type but I've seen enough of this to know what it is".
Regardless of expecting to hear that, my heart still skipped a beat when he said it.

I did what everyone here has done....consulted Dr. Google and was convinced I had lymphoma. I was actually somewhat relieved when I heard it was SCC on Nov. 30th 2012. I had not heard of it before. Then I looked it up! ~sheesh~!

So it was an ugly outcome and quite a journey thus far with a lot more to go before I settle into my new normal. I'm two months post treatment and while I'm getting better, the progress is excruciatingly slow.

Positive thoughts and prayers,

"T"
