That's the right attitude to have going into this. Many of us, including me, have gone through the SCC BOT/Lymph Node treatment. I would suggest you look at the signature lines of the members, find those of us who had this type of cancer and read the questions and replies that were posted during our treatments. I did this during my treatment last January and found it to be quite helpful.
You will also find that many of us did not need the follow up ND. I hope your ND will be based on follow up scans. Keep us posted on your progress.
