Im so sorry you have had the need to find this site. Oral cancer is very different than skin cancer and comes with different treatment options. Since you ave already had SCC previously then I really would stress the importance of being treated at a cancer center. Even just going for a second opinion at one of the country's top comprehensive cancer centers is a very good idea. Here is the list. Best wishes!!!
