Denise,

My 37 year old is just completing six weeks of (daily) radiation treatment for tongue cancer. He got three days of chemo two weeks before radiation began and got Cisplatin once a week for the first three weeks of radiation. As you probably know by now, there a variety of protocols for this type of cancer. But you need to know if she will be receiving IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy). You can get a lot of information about IMRT by going to www.varian.com They are one of the manufacturers of this machine and not every radiation facility has it. We had to leave our local area to get this treatment.
