Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 153 | FWIW my tonsil SCC spread to my lymph system between my left lung and heart, and then to the pleural lining around my left lung and a spot down on my colon, that last surprised my medicos, but all confirmed as the same SCC crap (ha ha, get it?).
I'm in a drug trial (GDC-0980) and seem 'stable', may know more about if this is helping or not in about a week.
Chin up!
