Hi Monica,

I'm a young mum from Perth that was diagnosed with SCC in march this year. As you can see from my signature that I've had a few surgeries, radiation as well as chemo. It is a scary time, especially because we have such young kids but this us also the reason why we have to fight hard and kick this disease in the ass!! You have definitely come to the right place for advice, the people on here are very knowledgeable and warm. I have to agree with David about getting a second opinion on the recomended neck dissection.
