We thought she couldn't have any more radiation to that area but the doctor said the technology to pin point the radiation has improved so much that they can still treat the side of her neck since they treated the front last time. One of my questions is how close to the original site can you get more radiation and can you have the same (max amount) again so close? She goes to the radiologist tomorrow and the chemo guy on Wednesday. I guess we will find out then, how long and how much the treatment is going to be.

She is from the Dallas area and does not have any relatives close by except her husband. He isn't much help physically. They have had a pretty rough couple of years (major car accident, cancer, Katrina, cancer again). I have been trying to get her to move back home and they are planning to once her husband retires next August and they get the house finished to sell it but that is a long time away. She still thinks she will be able to work on parts of the house herself. Anyway, I'm still working on getting her home. I know she doesn't want to budge until her treatment is finished. I'm thinking by that time, she may be ready.

Thank you so much for the information. I have been browsing around this site. There is just so much stuff, it hard to absorb it all at once.
