I'm starting my second round of radiation for scc over my left ear. 2 yrs. ago had an scc removed right above it.
the latest one appeared like a fatty lump that local dr. missed until I insisted on biopsy. Good thing as I had to go to Mayo head and neck surgeon for removal. It was near lymph node but didn't invade...yet. Last fall I had 4 wks of radiation for forehead scc that threatened PNI and was told radiation would reduce by 50% possibility of return. I didn't find radiation that problematic. The first 3 weeks are nothing, then red, dry and itchy for a few more weeks till gone. I'm hoping I won't need to go to infusion therapy but will if necessary.
