Thanks EZ- I like what you said about telling myself that I can beat it and mean it - most of the time I mean it but there are times when I falter and I know I don't believe it in that moment - working on that!
Susan - I am so glad to hear that you're doing fairly well with your rads - that's wonderful news! My RO nurse recommended Calendula Salve - I just picked it up today - it's been amazing on my Erbitux rash and she said it works really well for radiation burns.

Second Cisplatin coming on board in the morning - here's hoping it doesn't kill me!!!

Just curious - I'm seeing an overwhelming number of folks here with SCC of the Left side of the tongue - I'm not sure I've even seen one person with right side involvement - any "Righties" out there?
