I have spent several hours today reading archived posts, and can only find TWO posters referencing SCC Mandible. Is this cancer location unusual? Dr. says he will remove jaw from mid chin to right ear. I can see with the naked eye that the cancer has already spread toward the front gums, just in four weeks! I'm scared to death! Surgery is not scheduled until July 19, almost three weeks more. No results from PET/CAT scan done last Wednesday. Any idea of how long it takes to get these results? If the cancer has metastisized to lung, will this change the course of treatment already discussed? Buzz' doctor is on vacation until July 9. I'll go nuts before then! thanks for your time! I really appreciate any info you are willing to share. Lois
