Anyone have Squamous cell cancer and where?

Sloooowwww. Still pain, still bleeding. but not as much in either area. Also haven't heard results. Unfortunately, my surgeon had ACL procedure yesterday so she's unavailable for a while. Not happy. I was hoping to be farther along by this point. Their discharge directions were not the best so maybe I'm expecting too much.

@magscratch: Sorry to hear this - both about you and your surgeon being unavailable. Have you tried calling their office? Medical providers are generally required to have coverage when they're not available in their private practice in order to provide substitute care. Can you try to follow up by calling and see if they have an alternate or emergeny number?

@magscratch The Dr called. I have appt for PET scan on the 25th to check extent (lymph nodes, etc). Will see med oncology & radiation oncology- information gathering stage. Then I’ll decide but right now I’m not leaning towards chemo. I’m 95-years-old & would like to enjoy my remaining days.
