Anyone have Squamous cell cancer and where?

Posted by metermaidman @metermaidman, Sep 26, 2025

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?

@runningy Have had my third infusion. Most noticeable side effect is fatigue, especially in my legs after only moderate exercise (6000 steps, nine holes of golf w/cart). Pain making it difficult to walk, moderated after 24 hours, gone in 48 hours. Is this to be expected as I continue with treatments? The other issue was itchy skin, but a biopsy suggests it is a autoimmune reaction that started before the Libtayo infusions and is probably unrelated to SCC. It has subsided greatly!

@runningy So sorry I've overlooked this until now - it's been a busy summer for me as we left the end of May to spend some time closer to the grandkids. How is your pain and fatigue now?
