Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,676 | Nanci- hopefully Gary will give you the medical definition of SCC-stage 1. But I will stick my nose in and say that "Squamous Cell Carcinoma- stage 1" is the best time to have caught the cancerm, so be very thankful for that. Taking care of 3 80 yr olds? WOW - you do have alot to deal with.  But, you know, I have had the pleasure and the pressure of caring for older age loved ones, and I gained so much from the experience. I found that I gained much more than I gave. I hope that is true for you. Keep your life busy and your chin up and by the way- terminal paranoia is a BIG waste of time. Amy

paranoia (and anxiety) is normal when dealing with cancer (and don't forget anger)- get some meds for that (or meditation or something).
Amy explained stage one very well and I can't add anything.
We are hijacking Bill's thread and Nanci you should start this is a "new topic" so that people are aware that you are here.
