So basically you do have a diagnosis but awaiting biopsy results as to type and panel screen. Some SSC’s are relatively simple to combat whilst others require Chemo. Once the biopsy results are known, then you will know your path to addressing the cancer. Until then, we could tell you fifty different approaches you could expect.
I know you are scared. If you have surgery then you will have to heal a while prior to radiation and/or Chemo or other non-Chemo approaches. Best thing to do while you wait is to learn as much about these cancers as possible. Make some life plans such as work, obligations, finances, etc.
The experience of waiting can be brutal for many. I for one presented by hemorrhage of a tonsil pillar, which resulted in emergency surgery, which resulted in mass removal and a biopsy within hours. By the time I woke up in hospital I was told the facts and prognosis. I went from daily life to cancer treatment in a very short timeframe.
