Hi I just found this site. I hope there are people that can help me to know what I'm about to experience. My name is Ron A. I had a lump on my neck. Had a biopsy taken of it. Surgen did a scope on my throat and found polyps on my vocal cords and throat on 1/17/08. Had surgery on 1/18/08, they found my right tonsil had an ulcer and removed it. Pathologist report back on 1/24/08 of both the tonsil and lump. I have SCC? (Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Now I'm awaiting my first PET scan sometime in the next few days, before I have surgery on my neck. Everything was normal 2 weeks ago, what happen?


Age 47, Right tonsil removed 1/18/08, large mass in right side of neck. Both have been diagnosed SCC Stage IV, on 1/24/08. Right radical neck dissection and left tonsil removal 2/8/08
