Doug Mackenzie is a professional photographer based in Bainbridge Island, Washington. He has been a squamous cell carcinoma survivor for 6 months.
My story is from the perspective of a person who had, for the most part, been a very healthy man for 63 years of his life. No major health issues beyond some high cholesterol and sore knees and ankles from running too many marathons in my 40s. I felt relatively healthy, so I was devastated when I was told I had stage IV squamous cell carcinoma on my right tonsil.
Six chemotherapy treatments and 37 radiation therapy treatments later, I was cancer-free.
