Radiation was to destroy positive lymph node near collarbone. Tommorrow I will get a ct scan of neck and lungs. Also scheduleing a pet scan. This is my second time battling SCC. The lymph nodes, there was more than one, seem to be destroyed and can't feel them anymore. They given me a very poor prognosis. I will not accept that nor agree with them. By God's grace and mercy I believe and recieve complete and total healing from this curse. I know the battle will be mostly in my mind and am depending on Him to strenghten me and be here in times of doubt.
I want to thank all those who have posted on this website on all the topics. I have learned a lot and have found much encouragement from what I have read. I know that there are many here who have gotten negative reports and have proven them wrong. I also know there are many who have not. My heart goes out to them.
I will continue to post as the recovery process continues and keep everyone updated.
Thank you Brian for your time and energy and when possible for me I will contribute.
