If you had to give a percent figure, what do you believe your mother's chances were of discovering a radical curative treatment for SCC and curing her own cancer?
I have no way to give a percent figure. 1%? But it doesn't matter, since there is a known 0% survival rate using the known treatments for SSC. In those cases it should be the patient's choice if they want a slow painful slide or if they want to roll the dice with something well considered but less well tested before the chemo wears them down to the point where their strength and immune system are worn down from multiple rounds of chemo. Effectively, the right to donate your body to science.
