Hello all, just thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm currently in the middle of my chemo-radiation therapy.

I had a squamous cell carcinoma of the lip last year which resulted from sun damage (started as actinic keratosis). It was resected (twice) but later spread to a lymph node in my neck.

I had a selective neck dissection Dec. 24, and am now doing chemo and radiation. I have done one round of cisplatin, and I'm almost halfway through radiation.

I'm here looking for info, specifically regarding how best to cope with the acute side effects. My neck is already pretty red.

Anyway, best wishes to all here.
