I see this thread hasn't had any activity since January, but I am hoping that maybe some of you are still around. I just got the diagnosis today that our beloved golden named Frisco has SCC.

For us - the tumor is below the nose, but appears to be eating away at the right part of the nose. It has spread quite quickly and seems to have grown since we did the biopsy last week.

I took a lot of notes on what everyone has tried and have a lot of information to research.

Our boy is 12 (13 this year) and had a tumor removed last year on his side that was spindle cell carcinmoa. I am kind of kicking myself right now - because I asked the vet if Frisco should be on some kind of immunity booster to prevent cancer from returning and the vet said that since that particular kind of cancer didn't work that way --- there really wasn't a reason to add anything.

We have been treating this cancer as an allergy for a month or more. It really didn't start looking like anything else until about a month ago. Now - it is aggresively moving across the lower part of his nose. No sign of invasion into the nasal - although part of the nose is pretty much disfigured.

I was wondering if anyone has learned anything new they would try if they had to do it again or if there is anything you have since learned that you could pass on to me.

Thanks so much.
