Hello everyone. I have been reading your postings for months. I have found answers, relief, and encouragement throughout that time. My Father was diagnosed 8/17/05 with SCC T2 of the left hard palate. He went in for surgery 9/6/05 where they removed the cancer as well as another mass found on his Lymph Node. All areas were tested and came back clear post op. He went through 6 weeks of radiation that he ended on 11/9/05. Meanwhile we had been making sure he was eating taking vitamins to keep up his strength. He did very well. Now we are sitting here after a CT Scan and Biopsy which came back inconclusive waiting for an appointment for a PET scan. It's all up in the air right now. Any insights? or Predictions?
