Yup, I just need very one to share positive thoughts and prayers......
FYI,
Squamous-cell carcinoma,
Squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC or SqCC) is a cancer of a kind of epithelial cell, the squamous cell. These cells are the main part of the epidermis of the skin, and this cancer is one of the major forms of skin cancer.
However, squamous cells also occur in the lining of the digestive tract, lungs, and other areas of the body, and SCC occurs as a form of cancer in diverse tissues, including the lips, mouth, esophagus, urinary bladder, prostate, lung, vagina, and cervix, among others.After two katscans, one pet scan, numerous blood test, exploratory surgery last Thursday, they found this " "Squamous cell carcinoma" hiding inside my right tonsil. They removed 9 teeth during the surgery, these would have been lost anyways, due to the high amount of radiation that will be focused inside my mouth, every day for the next seven weeks along with kimo therapy.
All this has been going on At M.D. Anderson for the past month, I should start treatment by mid September, waiting for the surgery to heel first.
Anyways.... keep the prayers and positive vibs coming... I'll be back!
