Orr I'm glad you have to it's a horrible horrible disease but to have it that many times is awful x dads had it twice 22 years ago non hodgkinson lymphoma in his neck same side as his tongue was he's only got one salivary gland but I think it's because everything is healing so producing more Salivia x his radiation starts tomorro he's had a mask made to try to protect the areas he's already had radiation on all them years ago x he's dreDing it as he struggles to lie flat for long due to coughing and only breathing out his nose x fingers crossed it goes ok not sure how long it takes they put his head in the mask and clip it to the table :(( just hope he can cope with it x I'll keep you updated do you no how long before radiation starts to take effect is it a week or few weeks xx
