Jen, sorry you have to go through this again. this type of cancer really stinks. Hope you get to be with family over thanksgiving so they can take care of you. I would strongly recommend that you see an MO before you start radiation.
How is your swallowing? get hooked up with a speech therapist so you can start therapy and tongue exercises.
take this time to heal and to get your self in good shape physically for the next battle.
hang in there,
nancy
