Sharon,
Are you getting IMRT radiation or some other form of gentler radiation? I have never heard anyone in my three years on this board talk about radiation as if it were "easy". Certainly not anyone saying it was easier then surgery or having a PEG tube installed???? I just want to make sure we don't mislead anyone. If you finish out your radiation treatment with the obviously minimal side effects you are having, you are one lucky woman and I'm thrilled for you! But, that is not the norm with radiation treatment.


SCC Left Mandible. Jaw replaced with bone from leg. Neck disection, 37 radiation treatments. Recurrence 8-28-07, stage 2, tongue. One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
