If the tumor is HPV positive, they are starting to look at a slightly lower dose after induction therapy in a couple of clinical trials. You could take a look on the National Cancer Institute site, and maybe reference a specific clinical trial when you talk to the doctors. That said, radiation dosage and administration is very complex. The danger is that if they don't zap it hard enough, it may come back. I've read some of the protocols, and they make my head hurt.

About your daughter's graduation - yes, go for it. My husband was still riding at that point. Just make sure he has a place to rest - the fatigue will start being an issue at some point.

Best wishes to you and your dear soldier.
