For Squamous Cell Carcinoma "Overall, I felt good, except for the terrible itching that started on my back, then my sides, then my legs, then my head. I tried everything the doctor prescribed and a dozen creams and powders, they only work temporarily, an hour or so. Then my itching has turned into several sores, large, rash-like, and painful. I wish I knew what would help me with this. I want to keep the treatment going as it's working on my CSCC and NSCLC. I have been on therapy for 8 months. I have 4 months to go. Pray for me. Thank you."

For Squamous Cell Carcinoma "Squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis in June 2020. Radical surgery of head and neck (parotid gland). I then had 30 sessions of radiation. A CT scan three months later showed a cancerous lymph node on the collarbone. Stage four SCC diagnosis given. Libtayo every three weeks resulted in lymph node normalization. Now currently on a four-week cycle. The oncologist won’t say I am cancer-free, but no cancer present. Because I still get squamous cell lesions externally, the oncologist thinks I should continue. It’s been 3 1/2 years so far and will continue until my body no longer accepts it. Thankfully, I have VA care to cover most of the costs. Just get itchy and a little nausea occasionally."

For Squamous Cell Carcinoma "Severe eczema on my legs, arms, and back, along with itchy skin, feels like ants crawling all over my body for the first 3-4 weeks."
