Read my Signature Line. Pretty sure they will recommend chemo concurrent w/ the rad. Have your TSH levels tested pre Tx and record your normal number just in case your thyroid craps out post Tx from the rad. Do eat all your favorite foods now and forget that fat and calories are bad for you. Do get the trays made and start using them now. Do continue to visit this site and post ?'s often.
