I've been diagnosed with metastasized Squamous Cell Carcenoma . I had a mass/tumor removed from top left side of head. I meet with an Oncologist on 5/11. As of now site of origin is unknown . I've read that once the cancer has metastasized that prognosis is poor . Anyone with this type of cancer? I've read the Squamous Cell Carcenoma rarely spreads/metastasized.

Hello trte300. It’s very normal to be afraid of the unknown. Squamous cell carcinoma is treatable and depending upon your oncologist recommendations, your chances are usually pretty good at winning this fight. You first have to take it one step at a time and don’t jump to conclusions.
I won’t tell you it will be easy, it’s not. But the alternative is worse. So with your good doctors and the people on this site to talk with, it can go easier. There are many here who have been through what is happening to you.
Let’s start with the questions, what is your next step? What does your medical team say?
