Starting IMRT treatments shortly. Just had a right parotidectomy and now they want to radiate the entire parotid area and right neck including right tonsilar bed. Had right radical neck disection in 2002. Original dx was right tonsil SCC. I will get 7.5 weeks of radiation. Has anyone had similiar IMRT and if so what should I expect. Thank you for any of your response. I had 5 parotid lymph nodes positive for SCC. Surgery was done 7/26/04
