I would be very suprised if your side effects were worse this time around than the first round of radiation. I know I was pleasantly surprised that the second round of radiation far in excess of the "maximum" did not have anywhere near the downsides of my first radiation, Yes, it true that the Trismus has snuck up on me again, but that just means I need to restart my Therabite exercises. As other posters have noted, you are doing the right thing. Best wishes
