I am 1/3 of the way into my treatment. It is 347 seconds of Tomo radiation to my larynx. The cancer is contained in the larynx.After meeting with several radiation centers, many explaining how they would probably zap my lower salivary glands, and many of the side effect I elected to go with fairly new Tomo radiation.After reading many of the side effects into week 3 and 4 I am preparing my self.Reading Maine Wills experience it helps prepare me.Currently I have a little discomfort swallowing but thats it. The Tomo is supposed to help minimize the side effects. One of the doctors said I am the first person that used the Tomo for this type of treatment T2N0M0. I will keep everyone posted.Steve Hurlock
