Rads started today. I am tired but I believe it is because I stayed up all night worrying about potential recurrences, job and other things. I went to the gym after and did the tread mill, pool, hot tub, sauna then 30 minutes of Korean Massage around my neck dissectomy. So I am going to the show as of now.

I am driving an hour and one half to get there then back. Rads are Scheduled for 6 weeks with I think 45-50 gy in rear of mouth and 60 70 towards front. 60 -70 is scaring me. I'm being Tomo'd. On the third week I have prepped by asking for hospitality room.


Might as well say it, I fear not having let them take my teeth. The concensous by everyone was to leave them, but notw I am worried, Nothing lasts forever.
