Hello to everyone. I just found this site. Do to the fact that IMRT treatments start Tuesday 2-13-07 for 38 sessions, I am feeling the need to gather a support group. My SCC diagnosis was received on 12-29-06 with surgery (Right tonsil and lymph nodes) on 1-8-07. One tooth had to be removed because of the upcoming radiation.
I must confess that I can be a big wimp. I do not deal with pain too well. I can only assume that I am this way because I have never had to deal with it. Three months away from 50 years old and this diagnosis along with the surgery has been one heck of an orientation!
Keep in touch and take care.

David
