How soon after diagnosis did radiation treatment start for you? My family member who is diagnosed with metastatic squamous tonsil cancer with mets to two cervical lymph nodes on March 2, 2018 keeps getting his radiation chemo treatment delayed, first because his RO waa in vacation and had him wait until today for follow up, now hw is being told a mask has to be made and there will another 15 days delay as 10 days to make the mask abd mask fitting etc also needed. The RO could have had this done while he was vacationing. I feel they are treating him like a number and am worried about more metastasis by the time they actually start treatment. Such delay in care is unacceptable but they are going on their own convenient pace. My family member is kind good man.
