Hello everyone

My name is Frankie, 55 yo and female, diagnoised with squamous cell cancer of the tongue back in late Sept. 2005 I had the small lesion removed in October and more tisse removed in Nov. for a total of 5mm of surrounding tissue removed. I am now on my 11th day of radiation. My doc and the patholgy says they got all the cancer with the surgery, but there are some remaining pre-cancerous cells on and in the tissue of my tongue. So I have 11 treatments down and 21 to go. I do take the Amofistine shots in my tummy each day as I have read on here many of you do also. It makes me really sick. I have switched from the compazine to Kytril. And I still get sick. If anyone has had any luck on having a non-nausea day on something else please let me know cause I want to try it. I am losing all my taste rather quickly, or rather it is being replaced with the metallic taste I get from the shots each day. Beginning to think I would be better off without the shots, at least I wouldn't be sick and have the metal mouth every morning.

So glad I found this forum. Looking forward to learning from everyone and helping out where I can too.

Frankie
