Anyone have Squamous cell cancer and where?
I have a lesion on my left side of my face just below my ear. Does surgery help or is there a medical cream I can use to avoid surgery?

@valeriesgallery, welcome. Have you been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma? Or are you currently getting tested? How are you doing?
I`m having surgery on November 3rd for 2 of the spots and then on November 10th for the 3rd. All I know is that 2 of the spots are basal cell carcinoma and the 3rd is Squamous cell carcinoma.

1 Reaction@jeffersrat, how did you appointment go? What are the next steps for you?
@colleenyoung thanks for asking - radiation completed on 10/17, so I’m about 10 days out and my lower lip is about 90% back to normal. Next is MD checkup, scan and full body dermatology check - all in January
Still waiting on my initial Signatera test results. Should be any day now

1 Reaction@colleenyoung 24 October appointment with Dermatologist, it was still blistered but healing. To day 28th it appears to look better but some blisters still present. Been applying Econazole Nitrate with Mupirocin for the last 8 days?
