Thank you all for your kind words. Jerry, my SCC was discovered almost by accident, I had a lesion on my tongue that at first I thought was just a bite....I was at my doctor and as an after thought I showed him...he immediately suggested a biopsy sent me to an oral surgeon who performed the biopsy. This was all done within about 2-3 weeks.

As far as meck dissection is concerned he has decided not to take any nodes as every other test I have had has come back good.

As far as other things go I am really trying hard to put a brave face on things but it comes and it goes as I am sure ith everyone else here.

Thanks
Christopher
