Hi Hanima, sorry you had to be here and unfortunately, I am also not too active these days.

Doctors in India are not too forthcoming talking to patients and caregiver about their condition. Few questions to understand the real situation:

1. Does you father have some swelling on his neck?

2. Did doctor say anything about surgery?

3. How many cycles of radiation has been planned?

4. Is it being given with Chemotherapy?

5. Is your father covered under some insurance?

Usually Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy are considered palliative treatment with objective of improving the situation e.g. reducing tumor size or providing pain relief.

I'll share my email address and phone number on PM. If you can send me the reports, will try to help you understand the situation.
