KPS

I had 3 sessions of chemo in conjunction with radiation. One session at the beginning, one midway and the last near or at the end.

Thanks for including the pdf link about tongue rotation for it was very informative. I guess there are lots of ways to do somewhat similar things. I spoke with the Doctor today about tongue rotation before reading your post. I ask him if tongue rotation was a new technique taking the place of flaps. He said tongue rotation was not new and that, as I understood it, he holds the flap approach in reserve and he may or may not use a flap in conjunction with tongue rotation.
