Hi, DEb and all- I just reread my post after reading your post, Deb.I don't think my intent was well expressed. Yes, upon occasion during our 2 yr.battle with SCC, I have tormented myself with the "what ifs":[we could have gone to different Docs, we might have had a different protocol of tx, why was JOhn's tx different than xyz's, why was his outcome death?] But those are grieving questions. My intent in the post above was to point out that there are still as many different approaches and opinions to treating this disease as there are Docs.WE, as patients and caregivers, oftentimes beat ourselves up agonizing over what to do before we start this journey, never realizing that the medical profession is on a journey too in regards to this disease.
