My boyfriend was just diagnosed with Squeamus cell carcinoma. He has a mass in his neck and 2 lymph nodes affected. The lymph nodes are right next to the mass and small, but so far, that's all I know. We have no idea what stage and are waiting to get a PET scan but as far as we can see on the CT, it hasn't spread. His last visit left me with more questions than answers and I am scared to death. He has been chewing tobacco for 30 years so I'm sure that's what caused it. I'm desperate for any information that anyone can give me. Idk what his chances are of beating this. I have an idea of what to expect because my aunt and sister both beat cancer. My sister had lymphoma and my aunt had melanoma that went to her lung and had to get half of it removed. I know the staging for his cancer is different once it affects the lymph nodes. Any advice or answers would be appreciated.
