It's getting hopeless. Docs say that enough damage will be done to the salivary glands during the first 10 days of radiation, and IMRT won't save them afterwards. From how my mother's eating that seems true. Meanwhile, no one has anything encouraging to say about a gambit with gaps. I'm wondering if the other benefits of IMRT are strong enough to warrant a switch.

I feel like yelling at the doctors for not choosing IMRT to begin with, only that's not going to help.
Thanks again, David.
