Hey Susan! My sister is in he same mode. Also starting Rads within the next few weeks. I would rather her start with it and only use it when needed but I will tell her until I am blue in the face. Lol! She has her mind set. The only thing that is making me comfortable with her decision is she is going to an RO that speacializes in head and neck cancer. Her surgeon wouldn't have it any other way. I hope that she could make it through with out any pauses in her treatment from dehydration. To be con't.......
