Thanks, carol.

Sorry to hear about your SCC. I hope you are doing well. When was your surgery done? Did you have any recurrence after that? Did you take any radiation?

My father is going to begin his radiation next week. Doctor has recommended him for conventional radiaotheraphy instead of IMRT. I have read that IMRT is better, than why did not he recommend it?

Also, my father is having blood in his mouth when he gets up in the morning. That is the only time he spits some blood (very little). IS this due to the neck dissection not beingh elad completely? Or is this any symptom? Also, he has a tooth ache after suregery? Has anyone got similar symptoms after surgery.

Thanks,

Krishna
