I'm headed to MD Anderson for an appointment next Tuesday. I have Base of Tongue level IV, left node involved and it has crossed the mid-line. Several questions:
1) They say the initial consulation will take 5 days. What should I expect from this intial visit? (Note:I have not had a PET or chest CT yet.
2) Those who have started (or finished in the last year) at MD what time frame were or are you there?
3) On your radiation portion did they give you all the radiation you could take or are they pulling back on that now to give you the ability to have another round of radiation if you get another cancer?
4)When they give you your treatment plan how long did it take for them to get started?
5) What was the hardest part of the treatment?

Thanks In Advance,
Dan
