Female 47 diagnosed with an aggressive form of SCC
Hi everyone,
Recently my mother (47F) was diagnosed with SSC. Her doctors say that it is aggressive and that there is a 30% chance that it will come back after all the treatment is done. She has had surgery done, and is currently going through radiation and chemo. I am her daughter, 20 years old, and I am feeling very frustrated. I know doctors can not give a 100% chance, but what if the treatment doesn't work and it does come back. What is all this pain and suffering for? She wants to live, she wants to see the world, and I want her to be in my life. I just feel frustrated with cancer and going to these appointments and talking to the doctors. Her doctors are great, and I know they are doing the best they can with the tools they have. I just don't understand what to do when reoccurrence happens.
