I am going to have a follow up with my oncologist in a few days. But basically I may have brachytherapy or the choice to do nothing more (potentially).
Anyone have this type of radiation for 4-5 days? What was your experience like?
I am not thrilled about going to the hospital for this (in fact I am very stressed). But I like that it would be over in about 5 days.
Age 44. Diagnosed at 34 (2006) with T1N0 SCC tongue on right side. Neck dissed & 6 weeks Radiation. 30% tongue removed. Never smoked;
