Debbie,

Not sure if this will help either, but I was diagnosed with SCC stage II - III three years ago on my tongue and the floor of my mouth. All cancer was removed via surgery with clean margins. I had all lymph nodes removed at the same time by a modified neck dissection. Both sides were done as cancer on the tongue was on one side and the floor of the mouth was the other. All of the nodes were clear, consequently, I did not have RAD or Chemo.

Three years later, I'm alive and kicking and still cancer free. I did however, go to two different doctors for check ups monthly, then bi-monthly, then quarterly and now it is every six months.

Take care.

Anne.
