Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 417 | I had a biopsy Monday (Small needle 3 samples), all three came back positive fpr SCC.
This will be my second recurrence. I was in Chemotherapy from Feb to July 2006 for 1st recurrence.
This new tumor is on my chest about 3cn below the right clavical and is just under the skin.
I go for a CT scan Monday and then meet with my oncologist Wednesday the 13th of December.
I know that this cancer will eventually get me, but not withouit a fight.
Anyone requiring specific information email me directly.

Your strength and corage are amazing. If it was me I would be afraid and go into a self pity party, yet you come out strong as ever trying to be available to help others. This is a testament to the great individual you are. I don't know what tommorrow will bring you, but I certainly hope a little of you rubs off on the rest of us today. Thank you Darrell you are so much of this little community and all of us are better because of your participation. I'm looking forward to hearing from you a lot in the future. We're with you Darrell!!!
