Good Morning, So sorry to hear this, I had SCC Larynx Cancer, diagnosed Sept. 21. Stage 3, its a long process, got Biopsied in November, confirmed,, did not spread my ENT, Referred me to an Oncologist, started Radiation twice daily in late January for 7 weeks, no Chemo, as my kidneys aren't in the best of shape,I'm not on Dialysis, but want to avoid it, anyway your question, can it spread, I'm not a Dr. Obviously. All I can say is everyday that passes things yes can happen. As for Insurance, they have to except her, get Charity Care in the meanwhile...OK Radiation is rough, but honestly you get through it, in her case they may choose Chemoradiation, which is excellent as well, she's young..Well Radiation ended in 3/22/22 ..CT Scan and Scope as of October 22, no recurrence, but not to say it won't come back..Hopefully not, side effects are rough, can't deny it, well your Dr. Will tell you..Have to go for Scans every 3 months for the 1st year, my advice again. Please insist on having her seen asap & start treatment..I'm here for you, please keep us posted..Hugs ❤

Thank you so much for the kind words and jumping through this insurance Hoops is ridiculous one only one thing is holding me up to help her it is frustrating. Not to mention I am struggling with even though she is 41 she is hard to keep on track sometimes on the simplest task almost like her age is 41 but her brain is 12 and I'm sure that's part of her Mental Health I have just never known it to be to this degree so it seems as if the only one fighting for her life is me and to be brutally honest I am getting worn down by it like to the point if you're not going to fight why should I? Have you ever experienced that?
