It is hard to see Lance Armstrong's grinning face when the daily side effects of our TX are so different than his experience. For men, Prostate Cancer is all the public knows and for women, Breast Cancer. Or at least it does seem like that to me. Of course I was just as clueless and had never heard of tongue cancer let alone imagined I could get it.
It was good to see some public attention with Roger Ebert but let's face it, radiation, chemo and surgery to the head and neck are not really traditional beauty methods nor likely to yield poster child looks.
It's okay to vent here about the unfairness of cancer research and public knowledge.
