YIKES! What is up with all of us young'ns! My only suggestion for handling everything is try and get back to normal as much as possible and continue on with life. Don't let cancer take over your life! When were your surgeries and have you had any other treatment as well?


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****
