Hello,

Thanks for adding. My mother has been sick since early March. At first it was a pea size mass Under her jaw. She had an ultrasound but they thought it was an infection. Then she had a MRI that showed the mass but no cancer. The surgeon removed the submandibular gland on March 29th (at that time it was a peach size mass) and it was squamous cell carcinoma. He also removed 30 nodes that were all clear. A few days later, the tumor grew back. She had sugery two weeks ago to try to get rid of it. But the SCC is now in her nerves and in the jaw bon. I think they did not handle her case very well. My mother wanted to be treated in her local hospital and they were not proactive enough to take care of her. Anyway, she is set for chemo next Week. We Don't know yet which chemo she will have. If she responds to the chemo, she will then have radiation. Her onc seems very proactive. The tumor is aggressive but localized.
Thanks for your help. I fear I am going to lose her.
