I am 2 months post-surgery and waiting for radiation to get started. Still need to get the mask made and new CT scans. Just had my remaining lower teeth extracted last week so waiting until I get the go ahead to start the rad treatments. Thankfully, for now no lymph node involvement so no chemo is scheduled. I've been going back to read all the old posts and appreciate the info all being in one place. Before I found this site -- the info on the internet was confusing and very hard to understand.
Thanks Christine B for the tip on making the intro page.
