I would like to thank everyone for your support. Robert starts radiation in the morning. He will get sub- q ethyol 1 hour before. I see that many of you had imrt. The radiology oncologist said that she did not recommend the imrt..she wants to cover the entire area, and says that she should wants to get the tonsil bed. I see that many of the scc of the tonsil on this site had imrt and I am worried that this oncologist is not up to date with the larger cancer centers.We are going to a cancer treatment center, however our town is not a large city. I would hate to push the issue and then have the cancer show up at a later date, I would have major guilt.Robert seems content with her rational,however he has not read what life post radiation may be like if he ends up without saliva.
