I was wondering why my mother had to take two Radiation treatments a day. I asked the RO and he said in the Pathologist Report the Margins were questionable . Could that mean all the cancer was not removed during surgery ? One of her main complaints from the beginning was ear pain and recently her ear has started to hurt again. Maybe the pain is from the Rad I'm not sure but its starting to worry me and my mother.
