Hi everyone,
My mom (65 yrs old) has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in the jaw bone. It is fairly aggressive from my understanding. She has had 3 cycles of chemo already. The tumor responded and now we're trying to figure out the next steps.

We are seeing a radiation therapist tomorrow and I was wondering what kinds of questions should I be ask the doctor?
