OMG am I ever scared. Just Dec. 4th, I find out I have SCC that has camped out on my right tonsil, soft pallet, and base of the tongue. I see the medical oncologist tomorrow morning. It looks like both Chemo and Rad for me to start soon. They cant feel anything in my neck-nodes, and chest x-ray looks clear. PET is scheduled. Rad oncologist is very optimistic but says a "rough road" lies ahead for me... Life changes in a heart-beat! I'm not ready to "go" yet! God help us all.
