Glocita,

I was treated at KU Cancer Center. The tumor board suggested radiation no chemo due to the perineural invasion. I start radiation treatment the first week of February. I will be done with treatment the middle of March. They are calling for IMRT on the tumor site and they also want to hit the right lymph nodes. Going to do 30 treatments at 50 gray. When did your side effects kick in and what did you do to mimimize the effects. How is the new normal?
