I'm not going to baby you like some of the above. You are flat out crazy to have waited 6 months after being DX'ed with BOT SCC with mets to multiple nodes without starting TX. You were a Stage IV 6 months ago and it certainly hasn't gotten better. You will flat out DIE if you don't get this treated. There are no miracles so stop waitng for one. Run as fast as you can to the nearest Cancer Center and pray that the 6 months you threw away doesn't cause you to loose your life. This site is devoted to people that want to help themselves so join us in our common fight against this horrible disease.
