Hello lgh, I wonder where she is receiving treatment? If she only had radiation to her cheek, she may be a candidate for additional IMRT radiation. I don't like the doctors comment either and would consider other professional opinions. Sorry to hear about the extensive surgery.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
