Hey Shelby
Love your attitude, you are so young and this is going to help you. Keep us posted on your progress. I am heading to week 3 of chemo/radiation and keeping the same positive attitude. Just like you, never smoked, never chewed dip and played sports my whole life. Don't ever ask "Why me?". Let's just kick this Cancer's butt! 5-10 years from now we'll look back and be proud of ourselves for fighting it. Hang in there. Good Luck with everything and above all enjoy the heck out of Christmas!
Ron
