@ bethers0808 - Doctors did lymph node biopsy and the scan. Doctors will be giving full blast radiation in the mouth,from the back of the neck, and lymph nodes. Lower dose on side of the tongue and other areas. Regarding peg tube doctors said they would use it. I am not sure when? from what i remember- they said after a week or so. Thank you so much for your help.I have still so many questions to ask and tons of information to seek. But again reading stories on OCF gives me strength and courage.!
