All of this happened so fast and as the primary care taker of my mom I am trying to educate myself. In this system of doctors, nurses, hmo's, rehabs ect, I have learned that I must be my mom's voice, her job is her mental and physical well- being. I have some questions:
1. I see in reading in the forum that tumors are labled a 1 or 2 ect. What is the scale for labeling the stages of a neck tumor.
2. What is a P.E.T?
3. What is occult mets?
I know radiation is going to be hell, she on the other hand hasn't thought that far ahead. What does radiation do to the cancer, but what is it going to do to "her"? I suffer when she does, so I need to prepare in order to to keep her and I motivated and informed.
