Why is a bolus used on my scar?
Why do I have a CT scan every week?
(The explanations given so far have been brief and I've been too busy preparing for and getting over that damn tongue plug to ask them to expand on it:)
Christine's milkshake, one a day?
1996, ovarian cancer surgery + cisplatin and taxol.
September, 2007, SCC of left lateral tongue. Excision.
October, 2009 recurrence in scar tissue, T1NOMO. Free flap surgery from left wrist - neck dissection. 63 year old New Zealander. No chemo, no RT.
February, 2014. New primary in left buccal mucosa. Marginal mandibulectomy, neck dissection, right arm free forearm flap. T1N0M0 but third occurrence and some areas of concern: RT started 8 April and finished 19 May.
