My son was only 33 when he was diagnosed with SCC. That was in 2006 and he is still here and doing well! I found OCF after Paul had started radiation and if I had not had the help and guidance I found here, I don't know what would have happened to us! As mentioned above, it really is important to stay hydrated. Stay close to us here, check back often and let us know what's happening.
