Squamous cell carcinoma and ear canal cancer

  1. My husband had a12 hour operation 4 weeks ago to remove an SCC from in front of his ear, his ear canal,  his external ear,  lymph nodes and the parotid gland.  Currently he's not in a good place. But we are seeing daily improvements.  He is quite depressed and anxious too. Are that any support groups for cancer survivors who have lost an ear? We hope to get results in 2 weeks time! Fingers crossed...
  • Heya. 

    Welcome to the forums in order to start with. It is nice to meet you. Best wishes. You can do this. All of the main cancer research trusts and charities have support groups that are worth signing up to. Find a hobby too. Also see if you can find a good counsellor. 0808 800 4040, call on Tuesday to speak with a nurse.
