"If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know." I want to scream back, "yes there is, You can take this damn cancer away from me, how about that? You up for that one?"

I also had one idiot ask me, while in treatment. If I was on Nutrasystem, since I had lost so much weight! I wasn't heavy to begin with 5'4" and about 130#s, when she saw me I was 95#'s. Who would want to look like that?

40 yr old. Stage IV SCC found left tonsil. PET/CT shows cancer on base of tongue, floor of mouth, lymph nodes on both sides. HPV 16 pos. 6 weeks of cisplatin, 43 days of radiation. 73gy on each side.
