Thanks all for this wonderful forum.

My name is Ananth and I live in Davis, CA.

Was diagnosed with SCC Stage 1(lower right side of tongue) after an excisional biopsy(0.35 mm invasive SCC), clear margins. April 2012.

Now there appears to be a small lesion near the original site.
I have a CT scheduled next week and we're going to excise this one as well.

Has anyone had similar symptoms? What's the prognosis if the SCC returns within 6 months of surgery? Much worse than usual?

Thanks in advance.
