I had my radiation before the proposed surgery. In those days there was no concurrent chemo. After treatments the surgery of inside my mouth was cancelled as the radiation had done all the work. I had a selective neck dissection to confirm that all the nodes were clean, and they were all disease free. It may be possible that radiation alone might be a solution for her, and is worth the discussion with the doctors.

In my previous post my concern was that she had had these multiple surgeries and not had radiation in the process. Looks like they finally have reconsidered their direction.
