Well hello ... I'm one of three sisters.My older (not much older;})sister is Penny (on the site)She's been diagnosed with SCC stage 3 tonsil/tongue about 2wks ago..since that time it seems life has been a blurr for her and all those who love her. Treatment was nearly immediate. The urgency and aggressiveness genuinely frightened me...my heart and my head hurt.But now with the full diagnosis and the first treament under her belt, installation of the feeding tube to fatten her up, things have slowed a bit.Time to put a few things in order and 'plan' for the next week.
As I said one of three...my younger( not much younger) sister is Sarah1997 she's the one who found this site (and so many other resources) for us... she is not close to us in location so she has channeled her efforts into researching......thank goodness for her...because here we are..on this site I should mention Carlygusta is my niece(also on this site). So here we all are learning from, sharing with and being inspired by all of you. Sarah said this was a great site forinformation and that you just feel better after reading the posts...She was right.I look forward to the day I post "WE MADE IT!!!!" Thank you for sharing...helping us to know what we may have instore... and Pen if you read this EAT, EAT, EAT and then EAT some more!!!!!
