Tomorrow is my last chemo and radiation treatment. Happy to be getting done, but concerned about the future.

I can still feel the tumor spot on my neck even though it is smaller. I asked my RO about the size remaining. He didn't seem concerned at all. He said it was normal and the radiation would continue working after treatment for several more weeks.

What has everyone experienced at the end of treatment as far as tumor size? Was the lump completely gone, mostly gone...?
