Skin squamous cell carcinoma (recurring)

I was diagnosed with SCC last year and have had ongoing MOHS surgeries.
I depend on my Dermatologist working with my Oncologist. I am currently infused with Libtayo every 3 weeks, visit with oncologist on a regular basis as well as my Dermatologist.
I also have had two pet scans and the SCC is on the left leg, primary the shin area.
I need to take a moment to "Thank" you volunteers!
They recommended me to "Wound Care",
It has been my lifesaver. I can't tell you how wonderful they are and how much faster my open wounds have healed.
Been getting infusions since last October, no major side effects.

Me too...I've been on Libtayo a year now and they want me to stay on for another year. SCC got into a lymph node on my neck after many years of mohs in various head/face areas. I've not had any more skin lesions for a long time so that tells me its helping. I had an extra treatment to the lymph node that killed all the cancer within. It was a needle inserted directly that was filled with ethanol. A PET follow up showed the growing cells were destroyed! So happy with Mayo Jacksonville even though its a 2 hr drive each way.
