Hello everyone!! Hope you had a good day. My sister met with the radiation oncologist today. Unfortunatly I had to work so I wasn't able to go to the appointment with her. Apparently the dr made her very scared listing the "possible" side effects. He mentioned things like not being able to swallow, maybe losing her taste forever, having a tight neck, having dry mouth and sores. I have heard about the sores the thick mucus the dry mouth afterwards the fatigue. I am just not to sure about the other side effects and was wondering if anyone had any insight? She is extremly afraid of having the treatment now. She doesn't want to do it but knows she has no choice. They are going to radiate her tongue and both sides of her neck I believe. I was also wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to fill the medicine cabinet with? Creams for the burns etc. She is going for her mask fitting next week. They also want her to go to the dentist before radiation to take care of any teeth issues she may have because her jaw bone is going to be weak. Is this permanent? Sorry for the questions I just wasn't there to ask the dr and my sister is not wanting to talk about it righ now because she is scared. Thanks again for your support. I don't know where I would be without this site.
