I'm just curious as to how many of you would do radiation again given all the long term side effects. I know and understand that it is the best treatment avail for oral cancer, but long term side effects are so hard to deal with on a daily basis. Or anyway for me they are. Especially in Minnesota as we shift into the dryer winter air/climate. Winters for me are always a struggle. Actually any change of climate/seasons sets my mouth into a mess of soreness, inflammation. Along with that I tend to have more trouble swallowing. My pain doctor says that not one of his patients would do radiation again. I find that a little hard to believe, but some days.............
