I'm excited to see a 14-year survivor who only had surgery and no radiation or chemo. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to read messages from ALL survivors, but I often think about my own treatment and wonder if I shouldn't have had radiation in addition to my surgery.
My SCC was removed with good margins and no affected lymph nodes, so no radiation recommended. But, it makes me feel a lot better to see someone else who also had the same treatment and is doing so well.
Welcome to the forum and thanks for your post.
