Thank you!
As someone who is here doing research and collecting information concerning my partner's lower lip SCC, it can be very frightening to hear all the worst case scenarios. I think all the stories and information is very helpful, so that we ARE prepared for anything that might come up and have a head start on treatment protocols for tough to treat recurrences. I try to remind myself that people who are having an easy time of things would tend not to be seeking support and won't be well represented on a support board.
He's got a lesion about the size of a dime on his lip, negative lymph nodes and clean chest x-ray. He's decided to go with Moh's surgery and follow up reconstruction. I must say I've been a big worried about his not pushing for radiation, even though no doctor (he's consulted 4) has recommended it. So, thanks for the perspective!
