Marie-lyne,

I have only been a member of this board for a short time finding it, coincidentally or not, when my husband was diagnosed with his recurrence. He was originally diagnosed and treated in 2002 for SCC of the tonsil.

I know exactly how you are feeling now with all the unanswered questions. The tears are always on the ready and much of the time I feel like I've been hit by a big, loud train. We hope to find out more this week, too, about options for my husband.

I will be thinking of you and your dear David.

Loretta
