Thanks everyone!!!! Unfortunately I'm stuck at home today because my car is in the shop!!!
David- I'll have a thyroid panel run in a few weeks. They said it problems usually shows up at, I think, six months??? and while I'm not at that point yet they still want to check and make sure. The endocrinologist and my MO do not think my blood pressure problems and my pulse are related to my thyroid though because they only change when I stand up, and are perfect while lying down and fairly normal while sitting up. My system just doesn't regulate itself against gravity.
Stephanie, 23, SCC on the right side of my tongue, surgery on 5-19-08, over half my tongue removed, free flap constructed from my forearm, bilateral neck dissection, one positive node. Radiation (32) and chemo (carboplatin) started on 6-16-08. Recurrence 4/09 in lungs.
**** Stephanie passed away 12.15.09.... RIP our dear friend****
