I made an error in my original post. My SCC was actually discovered as a lump in the neck one month after removal of my WISDOM TEETH. I too still have my tonsils because when I went in for a tonsillectomy they were able to remove my primary (8 mm only) with clear margins. Sorry for the error in my initial post, thinking one thing and typed another... Thanks for the feedback.
