So glad it was caught before spreading, that is if having cancer can be good in any way. It looks like they are moving quick and that's a good thing too. The one thing I would suggest to you is to find a mental health specialist or someone you can speak openly with about whats going on. You will have tons of questions going forth and someone with a background in head and neck cancers can be a blessing. This forum is a great place for info but remember everyone is different.

When I had my cancer treatments, 15 years ago, radiation was a little hot, but I did ok. It can make swallowing difficult as it gets to the end. Take care of your skin, it can easy burn or darken. Like a bad sunburn. They will suggest something to put on your skin to protect it and hydrate it make sure to use it.

Glad your here and I'm sure you'll hear from lot's of good people. Good luck, Bryan
