Welcome! I can understand your feelings about recurrance.
My first round with SCC was my tongue 2004. Had surgery & had clear Margins. All was good until Sept. 2005. Found lump in neck. I did not have CT scan after first surgery, which was just a slip up.
So keep up with the follow ups & make sure to have CT done now & then. That is all you can do for now. Glad you are ok.
Take care
Diane
