One year ago a leading oncologist in the area tole me I had 1 year to live.  I'm still doing all the things I was doing then, only more slowly and with more medication.  I was on Taxol/Carboplatin for 9 months, now I'm on Taxatere/Carboplatin for 5 months.  I always rest the day before chemo and 3-4 days afterward depending on how I'm feeling.  I always tell family and friends when next chemo is.  They are so supportive and have been important in my longevity. I walk my little minature pinchure Max every day around the block. I'm now retired and am glad to have the time to do more of the things I love.  The cancer is in 3 lymph nodes, but has not spread from my neck  area.
