Hi @kathyheidt Maxillary SSC is not as common yet there are others here who have gone through your journey. Perhaps they will pop in soon. This is not going to be an easy battle, not impossible either. Pretty much your next six months will remove you from the plans you may have made. The good news is SSC is treatable. I'm here twenty-two years later.
Are you going to a major hospital or clinic with experience in head cancer? Make sure your oncologist has head experience otherwise don't feel obligated. It is your wellbeing, not the doctor's we need to think about.
