Hello all,

I finished my first out of 30 treatments today. They will be staying in the area of the primary tumor site and will not venture into the neck area. I am drinking lots of water and eating as many protein dense calories as I can get down in one day. I am doing this without the PEG since no throat/swallowing will be compromised. Initially my doc said they were going to hit the lymph nodes on the right side but decided against it. I asked the doc if it was because the tumor did not cross the midline and he concurred. Has anyone had the experience where radiation treatments were focused in the area of the primary tumor bed and no other areas were treated?

SCC front left lateral tongue T2N0M0 After neck dissection. partial glossectomy 12/26/13. Perinueral Invasion. IMRT 60gy 30 treatments beginning 2/5/14 through 3/19/14.
