No one should ever die that way. Overall these are not usually aggressive cancers. About 30% have lymph node involvement at diagnosis, but you do not often see distant mets at diagnosis. The tumor usually becomes noticeable or bothersome to the patient fairly early on and you don’t need radiology to see it so it’s pretty easy to diagnose. I’m very sorry your mother was not a typical case.<br><b>References : </b><br>I am a cancer registrar. Awe, I’m sorry to hear that. No one should ever die that way.

I want to learn about how it behaves, and about treatments they have for this particular type of cancer. My mother's was stage 4, and she died after 2.5 years of it. Doctors said at diagnosis she may have had it for a couple of years, it just didnt produce symptoms untill it became advanced, which is what many cancers do.I do know that Squamous Cell Carcinomas are some of the most common types of cancers because all our organs are lined with these cells. 90% of oral/oropharyngeal cancers are these squamous cell carcinomas.. I would just like to learn more, particularly about how they tend to behave and how aggressive they can be. My mother's caused her to die from sapping her nutrients and cutting her air supply off because the tumor was so massive, approximately baseball size. Forgot to mention that, the cancer that claimed her life was recurrent. showed up as 2 pea size nodules on her tongue, and then she quickly got worse and ended up in the hospital for 32 days. Then she came home and we gave it one last shot to see if we could fight it, but then it became completely uncontrollable and grew to baseball size. ultimately resulting in death.
