We'll see: I'm sorry that your cancer was not recognized and treated effectively in a timely way. These skin squamous cancers are famously slow to metastasize to the nodes, but i hope it can be removed promptly. There's no definite predicting. Best wishes.

SCC on arm: Its very rare for a scc on the arm to 'spread' to local lymph nodes. Surgery is usually curative for most scc, with the possible exception of late stage scc in the head/neck region.
