Please keep us posted about this revolutionary procedure! There really might be hope for me to return to a normal looking person after all.
One thing I feel I need to mention. Chemo by itself is not normally used to kill SCC. This is usually only done for palliative care when all other options are have run out. Im especially curious as to why your doctor would put you on chemo when your cancer was 6 years ago.
Please let us know how your doing with your recovery. Best wishes to you with everything!!!
