Thanks for the reply Donna - We did go to Stanford in November to get a second opinion from the Tumor Team there. They didn't give us any more hope about treatment for advanced SCC than we already had been given. It was at least helpful to know the diagnosis was correct and nothing else or any tumors had been missed in the scans, etc. Time is of the essence and there's no room for error as he is already in the last stage of the last stage (4c).

Hope you are doing well and Happy New Year to you.
