Cscc spread to regional lymph

Does anyone have experience of this ?

  1. Hi - thanks for reaching out to our community about this. I do hope others are able to chime in if they've also experienced this, but, in the meantime, I wanted to share some resources that we have on CSCC that may be helpful to read: https://skincancer.net/treatment/treating-squamous-cell-carcinoma, https://skincancer.net/search?s=Cutaneous%20squamous%20cell%20carcinoma. This may also be something to speak to your doctor about if you haven't already. Please keep us posted on how you're doing! All the best, Alexa (SkinCancer.net moderator)

    1. Yes, I have had a similar experience. In my case though the SCC seems to have spread to distant lymph nodes and possibly my lungs. How are you doing? I'm at a point of trying to decide about my path ahead and how aggressively I want to treat it or not. This feels quite frightening. It's a matter of fact, I'm having a hard time finding very much information about it, especially from patients.

      1. I wanted to check in and see how you’ve been doing these past few days. What you are going through is very difficult and I want you to know we’re thinking of you. Sending lots of positive thoughts and well wishes as you are deciding on treatment options and which path to take💕. All my best, Julie (team member)

    2. I appreciate your reply Julie. I am in a holding pattern as my PET scan had to be rescheduled. I have appointments with 4 different oncologists this month and eventually I will have a more definitive diagnosis. Not a lot to do other than make the most of this time and put worry on the back-burner. Getting my will and health care directive updated--always a good thing. I was so very grateful to find this forum; it has been so helpful already.

      1. I’m so glad you’ve found our community helpful🩷. I hope your upcoming appointments this month bring some clarity and direction. We’re here for you! -Julie (team member)

    3. I have just learned I have regional metastasis from cscc on forehead to a lump in front of right ear .
      Waiting to hear treatment details

      1. I wanted to check in and see if you’ve gotten any further information on plans for treatment? Thinking of you, Julie (team member)
