Welcome to board. I had not seen you come in through the "back door" so I'm glad you took a moment to introduce yourself. I too have distant reoccurance of SCC. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this again. The journey isn't quite so bad when walking it with others so come and join the journey with a sincere group of people who seem to really care. This board has been a huge part of my life since I finished Tx.
God Bless You
