Dear Missy,

 I'm so very sorry about your husband, I hope someone else comes

on who has more info on scc and different stages.  You can also

visit the cancer forums. net.  They have all different message boards on different cancers same as this forum, although they do have more abt.advanced stage scc and melanoma.

The only experience I can share is that opiod pain killers such as morphine, did make me "retain" fluid, I think because it was harder to urinate?  Definately retained alot of fluid. 

Sorry couldn't help more.

                                            Sincerely,
