Hello all,

I am posting this time on behalf of one of our family's close friends that lives in Medford. She just found out yesterday that she has SCC after a metastatic node in her neck was removed. I hope she is going to get to a CCC asap. Are there any recommended CCC's in the area? She is seeing her doctor tomorrow, is my age, and she and her family are scared. She and her family were very supportive when I went through treatment in 2008. I am unsure of her insurance situation but hope to speak to her soon. Either she or a member of her family will join the group or I will continue to post on her behalf. Thanks for the help, once again. This forum is so incredibly valuable to those who are in need. Thanks for being here.
