Joined: Mar 2018 Posts: 1 | I am a mother who's son was recently diagnosed with metastatic Squamous neck cancer. I wish I would have known more about this type of disease before now. I'm terrified for him and I feel helpless as a mother because on this condition i am totally without answers. Mothers should have some kind of answer in order to help advise right? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
