Just to add a few things.....As said, further down the lymph chain are negative factors, as well as having 3 lymph nodes involved, so believe they would recommend Chemoradiation or at least radiation. Ideally, the total treatment package for SCC, such as surgery, Chemoradiation, is best kept under 100 days for better outcome, but depends on healing, maybe 4-6 weeks, scheduling, pre-treatment requirements.
It's good your doctors are on top of things. All the best
