I just got releases from the recovery room from surgery but I had to post with all due respect to your chemo doc, he qis not qualified to evaluate your husband' s radiation tx plan. In fact, he is biased as everyone knows that for base of tongue cancer, it is the radiation which cures you. Chemo plays an important but secondary role. I am surprised he can eve get malpractice insurance with advice like that. Trust York radiologist. Trust me you will never forgive yourself if your husband has his cancer return because usband wiof not getting enough radiation ask yor radiologist the total number of grays or
GY. In the tx. It should be 72 to 77.
