So glad you found us, Bill - there are so many wonderful, supportive and compassionate people here who can help you and and have been where you are. My son had SCC=Squamous cell cancer on the right side of his tongue (see under my signature) and he's doing just fine, now almost 5 years ago. You can get through this. If you want to include more information about your treatment, just go to the top of this page where it says "My Stuff" and scroll all the way down the page to the "signature" and fill in whatever you like about yourself. There is a list of abbreviations on the "Forums" page and also here if you want to check what some of the cancer terms mean:

Stay with us, Bill - and let us know how you are doing.
