I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in my nose.....late due to misdiagnosis by ENT. I also have a few affected lymph nodes in head and neck...not many. I've just had my fourth cycle of chemo and have had MRI scan so now about to start radiotherapy with a chemo thrown in, in the middle I believe. I live in the southwest with my Husband and son and a few pets..dog, three cats, two ducks and a rabbit. I'm 52 and keeping positive. Umm not too sure what to say now so I'll leave it there for now.
