He sure did Teresa, so I know the feeling that you are feeling. The day we heard that good news I felt like I'd taken my first breath in 9 months. It was such a relief. Now we just are concentrating on his recovery and keeping him cancer free. All the best to you and Andy. It's been a tough road for you both but I'm so glad it's turned out well. Hearing those words makes it all seem worth it somehow.

By the way a nurse said to Steve when he had a stint in hospital during treatment "it's the hardest cancer to treat SCC because of the location and side effects, but the light at the end of the tunnel is huge". They were great words of encouragement and inspiration to get us through to where we are today.

Jen in Az, I think you made the right choice. My father inlaw had surgery for scc years ago with no treatment. He has since had further surgery still with no treatment and now is also battling melanoma. It only takes 1 cell remaining to start the rollercoaster over again so in my opinion you are doing the right thing.

Take care all
