Hi all, after my diagnosis I have felt very much like I landed on a strange planet where I don't speak the language but....I'm learning. I have my 14th treatment on the tomo radiation machine today. Yesterday's chemo (cisplatin) was cancelled due to bad reaction. My throat and tongue are blistered so I am only eating soup and sustagen - with great discomfort. Being my age and female, my disease is odd esp. Since non HPV. I look fwd to chatting with you all.
