He finished rads in September which is why they are saying it isnt an option, because ideally that would be the next step. From what I gather from the MO, the chemo is to slow the growth down...buy us time I guess. Apparently my dads cancer is quite aggressive and didnt mind the rads because it recurred in his tongue and in a node pretty complexly. His surgeon seems confident that there is something that can be done, whatever that may be...

We already discussed surgery, he said it isnt an option. If it was one small area then yes, but its along his neck dissection incision and trache scar. I know chemo alone doesnt work with SCC, but heres to hoping.
