Congrats on completing the Radiation treatments . I am a new member to the forum. My mother has stage 4 Oral Cancer. Surgery was a success in removing the Tumor in the lower right bottom jaw. My mother is now in her 3rd week of radiation treatments. She is noticing some swelling and redness in the neck and face area. Its starting to scare her a little. She has to complete 30 treatments and in the last 2 weeks of treatment she will have two treatments a day six hours apart.

I'm praying my mother will be able to get through it.
