Yep, I get all the crazy problems that I've never heard of before! I like to keep my doctors on their toes! They think the blood pressure issue is either from my chemo or my surgery but none of my doctors have ever actually seen it from either of those they just know they can be causes. I just keep reminding them that nothing about me is normal so they can throw the book out the window! It keeps them talking about me though and it makes me feel like a rock star! Haha.


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****
