MS T (lja),

Thank you for sharing your experiences with your husband�s SCC and subsequent treatment. I, like him, am very fortunate to have a caring spouse to hold my hand through this journey. I have printed your post and will PM you soon, after I have more time to absorb information about this new world I have recently entered.

�All roads lead to Rome.�

This applies to Richmond, VA, it seems. I now have an initial appointment on 10/23 with the only ENT who deals with OC in the area (as far as I can tell). He is associated with the Massey Cancer Center and MCV(VCU). Thanks to Joy and Cindy from this forum, and my doctors and friends, who all agree I will be in good hands.

It is hard to wait two weeks, but it will give me more time to educate myself, and examine these new challenges.

My Best to All,
Catherine
