So sorry to read about your diagnosis.
I hope we can be of support to you as you go through this journey. And, I hope you have great support at home...three little girls sounds like a busy household.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this at such a young age. I'm sure being an oncology nurse has it's advantages in understanding treatment options and medical terminology, but I am sure it doesn't help prepare you for the day when you learn you are going to be the patient.
Will keep you in my thoughts. Margaret ---------- C/G: Husband, 48 (at time of dx) Dx 5/18/07 SCC, BOT, lymph node involvement. T1N2BM0. (Stage 4a, G2/3) Tx 6/18 - 8/3/07, IMRT x 33 Cisplatin x3 (stopped after 1st dose due to hearing issues). Weekly Erbitux started 6/27/07 completed 8/6/07.
