I just want to first off by saying thank you to everyone in this group, you have provided me with so much support and help these past few months.
My mum has had the results from her pet scan and it was confirmed that her cancer IS NOT in her nodes.
So as it stands she has pure SCC stage 3b t3/t4 N0 M0 as the tumour is pressing against her vagina wall.
however now im confused cause I have read alot about scc and it doesnt work with chemo, but they are giving her chemo first of Cis/Gem as they want the tumour to come away from the vagina wall and get rid of any rogue cells.
when with the oncologist yesterday I did ask and push for why are theu doing chemo first and they said my mums case had been reviewed by the MDT and a team of specialists and they believe that it gives her a better chance. but the worrier in me is just worried that they should be going to surgery straight away.
