Hi sorry to hear you have this. 

I'm sure, with SCC , the waiting for treatment is often less, than if you had a bcc. 

You have stage 3b so I reckon not too long to wait for the scan. 

Can I ask what alerted you -re symptoms before you sought help?

I hope you do not have to wait too long.

Hi K91

I hope my  posting doesn't wake you

Anyway, that's the thing with skin cancers , they grow anywhere you don't want them or expect them. 

SCC's will likely get you faster treatment and if the lesion has grown they'll want it out asap I'm sure. If you're anything like me you'll google and frighten yourself.

One day at a time

Hi AngPat.

Yes I have done a lot of googling. Lump is measured at 2x1cm on letter so 2cm lol. I had call of hospital saying they had chased scan yesterday and the place that does them was booking it that day so to keep an eye out for a call but never got one so hopefully today with an appointment. 

Thanks for your reply. Hope you are doing well.

Hi K91

Well I sincerely hope you get your call soon.

Fingers crossed x

Hi AngPat.

I did not receive call so I phoned one of the hospitals that has the scanner to see if they had my referral and she said yes and booked me in for tomorrow morning.

Hi K91

That is good news 

Please let us know how you get on x

Hi AngPat 

Got an appointment next week to discuss surgery. Don't know how long after that the surgery will be.

Hi AngPat

There is a lady on face book who survived this cancer and lots of info on her page which is open if youve not already found the page/her her FB profile name is Kath Mazzella you may want to look - hope this helps and all the best with the procedures :)

Thanks AngPat sorry for the late reply had a date for surgery then the day before tested positive for covid. So surgery got cancelled for 2 weeks now I am having surgery tomorrow.
