Dear Betsy

Welcome to the site although I am sorry that you are facing more treatment which must be very difficult for you personally having lost your beloved brother to the same disease.

It is fortunate that you didn't have radiation first time around as it will be available to you now if required.

I also had major spread to my lymph which was treated with a radical neck dissection and RT. Now, 27 months out from end of treatment, I am cancer-free.

It takes special strength to push on after what your family has been through, you will receive all the support you want from people here who have travelled a similar path.

Sending positive thoughts for your treatment, love from Helen
