I just brought Christmas cards to my ENT and speech therapist (I don't see my speech therapist for therapy anymore but they are both in the same office so I say hi when I go see my ENT). My speech therapist was seriously on the verge of crying because she thought it was the sweetest thing ever, and my ENT said she loves cards and stuff because it's the thought that counts. So, simple is good!

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****
