First radiation treatment tomorrow (side of tongue and both sides of neck). Six weeks.Have read a lot of people’s experiences here, and I know that everyone’s body responds differently - the unpredictability is annoying. Anyways, just wanted to say how helpful I find this forum to be, how kind everyone is, and what a great source of advice Christine has been. No choice but to plow ahead and remind myself that in a coupe of months it will be over with. I’ve been very lucky to have avoided a flap in surgery, to have avoided chemo, and to have a good prognosis, so trying to be thankful and appreciative also.
