Is the rad treatment painful?
Will I be able to drive myself to and from the treatments?
How many weeks do the rad treatments last for oral cancer after surgery and a pech flap?
Is there any medication I should be taking prior to the treatments or after the treatments?
Should I be eating before the treatments?
I have read about people getting tired and sleeping alot, is this true of all people?
Thanks for your help in advance, Dan
