Hi,
I had my neck dissection plus more cutting on the tongue "just to be sure!" surgery Dec 20, stitches out Dec 28. The 28th is when the ENT discussed having radiation therapy, only because my really small tongue cancer had metastisized, and they usually don't. He said the tumor board ended up, after discussion recommending it. The radiation oncologist, whom I had met, was gone that day, and possibly the rest of that week, not sure. They are supposed to call me and set things up. So I don't know what they recommend other than IMRT, and nothing about chemo has been mentioned to me at all so I assume radiation is all. We live 11 hours away, so are hoping we can go next week, get the preliminaries done then, and I would just commence my stay there. My husband is going back to work, but will fly in for long weekends. I hope it will work. I do have a cousin in town, I know they will be happy to help out some, again don't know how much help I'll need. I am tougher than my 110ish pounds would indicate. I am just unsure how it all will fit together.
