Since RT didn't kill all first time, Dr says this time Tx should be both RT and chemo six wks after surgery. He is awaiting confirmation that I can receive more RT before finallizing treatment plan.
Q: Has anyone gone through similar due to recurrance? and what should I expect from chemo? will this work in conjuntion w/RT to help kill any remaining?
57 YO, Dx 10/08 with oral cancer, Surgery 11/08 followed by six weeks of RT treatment with the MASK. Follow up on 10/15/09 found a soft spot, which turned out to be SCC. Don't know if I can receive more radiation or not since I've already received full dose.
