Hi Don,

Thanks very much for your input. I was curious how the TOMO did with your parotid glands. Also on the one day that you missed a session, wasn't there a standard IMRT machine available, or did your RO opt to wait for the TOMO? The reason I ask is my RO is suggesting that if the TOMO is not available I should undergo treatment on the standard machine--I am not sure about the interchange of equipment during the 7-week session. Am I just bettr off asking to wait for the TOMO?

I noticed that you and I you also had SCC in two lymph nodes. Was there any extra capsular extension or perneurial invasion? I did not have ECE but did have perineurial invasion, and have been advised to go with chemo in conjunction with rads.

Best Regards,
Chetan
