They ordered a "boost" of rad. in the two areas & chemo and later surgery to remove necrotic tumors.
They put two "objects" on the new bumps during Rad TX.
I guess they really nuked it good as my tongue is tingling, feel slight sun burn & dry mouth and the bump on the left side of the neck; right on the scar is visibly swollen and really hurts.
It is affecting head movement and almost to the point of needing meds.
Is this normal because of the boost or is this "A Bad Day at Black Rock?"
