I had my appointment at Hopkins today. I had a fluid collection drained from neck. The tumor board recommended radiation given the aggressive nature of the tumor, and my age. I am fine with this, and happy to have a plan. I feel up to fighting this with everything I can. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement that IMRT is something I can get through.
Besides fattening up over Thanksgiving, any advice before starting? I know I will need a PEG, and that's OK. I think it will take the pressure off me to have to eat when I don't feel up to it.
Thanks so much - Laura G
