Susan, I am fortunate to have met someone with "neck scarring" only I didnt know it! Richard is someone I met at he & his wifes 25th anniversary, I have known them for 5 years (Richard at Trade shows) & his wife around town & have always felt happy to know them..hugs are our way of saying hello & conversations always good, imagine my surprise when I saw Richard on my neigbours doorstep last week & he said "hey Blondie" joking about how he found me, we hugged & I discovered my neighbour had told him of my impending surgery and bout with SCC & partial glossectomy, he then pulled down the collar of his jacket a little & showed me his scar, we then BOTH stuck out our tongues in the middle of the street!..Point is Susan I knew of his bout with cancer but always just appreciated the beauty within that he & his wife possess and NEVER had noticed the scar! I will soon be getting my second smile & pray no rad is needed but have friends like the forum & Richard who have experienced this and it helps soo much to know there are brave survivors like yourself with endless inner (& outer) beauty.
Take care
