We don't even want to get started on all the drugs I was taking during treatment. I was on a series of antibiotics because of pneumonia along with pain meds and a couple other things. For nausea I was on phenergan, zofran, and I had Aloxi given via IV before all my chemo treatments. Usually I'm not even one to pop an ibuprofen for a headache, but in this case, I was all about getting through treatment as painfree as possible.


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****
