This is my mom's 2nd go around with radation. The side effects this time around are very visible - a great amount of neck, should area/ and side of face are visibly burned and it is very hard to look at.

She has two more sessions of radiation and am not sure her skin will allow her to go through any more.

CG to mother. Diagnosed with SCC August 08. Surgery Sep 08 to remove right mandible and replace it with fibula from left leg. Also neck dissection with one pos. node. Rad/Chemo with cisplatin completed Nov 30, 2008.
Passed away Dec 15, 2014
