I am still new to this site and continue to be amazed at how uninformed I am. I was diagnosed with stage III/IV BOT Squamous Cell around end of April '06 and completed treatment in mid-July. Just pacing the floor now for especially the next year from what I understand.

I seem to have a lot more questions now than I did earlier and have one regarding Squamous Cell. Back when my ENT first gave me the verdict in April she made the comment that if I had to have cancer Squamous Cell was a better type to have. I am just curious at this point if such a statement is generally true from the experience of others? Is there any other type of cancer that attacks the BOT? It just seems like most everyone on this site has also had Squamous and I assume it is the most common form of oral cancer.
