Arvind, Your list above is very important, please consider adding for your Mom the following: good skin care between each radiation tx., mouth stretching exercises throughout, swallowing throughout, [even if she has a peg tube which I recommend she have for insurance that she can meet her daily nutritional goals], adequate pain meds on hand, good DAILY record keeping of nutrition, hydration, medication, bowel movements, blood pressure and any symptoms that "pop up" along the way. The word that comes to mind here is PROACTIVE! Think "Battle Plan". Wishing your family athe best going forward. Amy in the Ozarks
