It is good to hear that you will be going to a comprehensive cancer center. When you are given a treatment plan, let us know. There will surely be many here that can give you guidance from the patient's and caregiver's point of view. No matter how wonderful your doctors and nurses are, if they haven't been there themselves, they will surely have a different perspective on things than we do.
As you can see by my signature, I too had a scc on the left side of my tongue and am living life to it's fullest, 2.5+ years later.
Good luck next Tuesday.
