Maybe you would like to eat your favorite food in the interim. The treatment for head and neck cancer does seem like a never-ending cycle of pain. In preparation for rads, make sure you get all your teeth checked and any problems dealt with. It will be so much harder to do work on the teeth post radiation.
Do let us know what the tumor board decides and if you need further treatment.
