After having an SCC removed in late November from my right collar bone area, and another removed from my Adams apple area in early December 2011, I've now been informed that they were both cancerous.
On seeing my Oncologist,I was told that my cancer is not curable and it will significantly shorten my life span. He said I was looking at having around 2/3 years left,and much much less than that if it spreads to a vital organ.
This Consultant says he doesn't think there will be any great advantage in giving me more chemo now,but to wait until any more nodules pop up and they can then do what is necessary then.
My family are urging me to get a second opinion - it's not from a lack of trust angle re. the diagnosis , more just a question of treatment timing to give me the best chance.
Anyone with any experience or input re. same would be very appreciated.
