Such great advice you have gotten above. I can remember what a bunch of nerves and worry I was when my son first got his diagnosis. I sat at my laptop wanting to google "Sqamous Cell Cancer" and it took me three days before I could even make my fingers do it. I was so afraid of what I would find. It is scary so don't google. Coming here often - even several times a day is what helped me and my son get through his treatment and he is doing just great now, six years later! I use to cry in the car on the way home from seeing my son but crying in the shower is a lot safer and can be very cleansing and relaxing in more ways than one! Let us know how you both are doing.
