I am glad that I didn't have to go to another doctors appointment just to get the results, but man, over the phone? I don't know, I didn't think doctors would ever give out information over the phone. My ENT is very strict with information and it all has to be done in person, which I'm okay with. She won't even tell you if it is good or bad news. Now, for my dentist. The day I had received my kick in the shins from my oral surgeon, my dentist decided to give me a call to I guess offer his condolences. Anyway, I answer the phone and he says who he is, and then says that he is sorry that I have cancer but that he had been right all along, and had told me so. So I responded, well thank you very much, bye. Hello?!?! I'm 23 with cancer, thanks for the kind words. Ack, some people need to learn some tact.
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****
