Hello. I am new to this site. In January, I had surgery to remove a parotid gland tumor, which was diagnosed to be adenoid cystic carcinoma, stage 2. Last week, I began IMRT therapy, which will continue everyday for 4 more weeks. Side effects of dry mouth, scratchy throat and fatigue have started. I just found out that my thyroid is also receiving some radiation and I'm concerned about thyroid dysfunction down the road. Would appreciate any info you have on this. Thank you.
