Hello members,

I joined this site not long ago b/c my long-time boyfriend was dx w/SCC. I've browsed this forum several times since and it seems like an informative, supportive group of people.

John will be starting radiation to the right neck next week; just had his mask made which he said was pretty freaky (he thought he was just going in for a CT scan). Kind of nerve-wracking. He doesn't have the usual risk factors for this illness so that made the diagnosis a surprise too. Anyway, I'll be checking this site frequently and hopefully can offer tips down the road, as others have here.
