David,
I, like Brian Hill, and 2 other gentlemen that I was referring to, all were treated at MDACC in the early 2000's and all had the regular radiation. In fact I never heard or read the term IMRT, until after my treatment when it was mentioned right here on this board.
Eric, I am, indeed, working with the swallow people. The speech path. wants me to enroll in her "swallowing boot camp", which I plan to do once I heal from the next sequestrectomy.

Stage IV Base of Tongue SCC
Diagnosed July 1, 2002, chemo and radiation treatments completed beginning of Sept/02.
