Welcome @jenhope. I know this is frightening. You must be very worried about your brother.

I moved your message to this existing discussion in the Head & Neck Cancer support group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/)
- Squamous Cell Throat Cancer that you can find here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/squamous-cell-throat-cancer/

I did this so you can read the previous helpful posts and connect with other who have been there like @fwpoole @cooper12345 @rwdow @leelee70 @sepdvm @hrhwilliam @michael3319 and more.

Jen, as you begin your research into what this diagnosis means and how you can support your brother, what questions would you like to ask?
