Im very sorry to hear that his 'spot' turned out to be SCC. Im sure it was quite a shock to both of you. So glad that it was taken care of quickly. Hope he has a fast recovery from the surgery. You can never be too cautious when it comes to getting checked after going thru oral cancer treatments. Thanks for letting everyone know about this so they will be careful.
Wishing Ron continued good health!
