Hello Cocoa,

Did your mother have surgery? What was the staging of her tumor. Where is the primary tumor located? What type of radiation is she receiving?
I sailed through IMRT radiation with almost no side effects and I was a stage 4 tonsil (Primary)
Best of luck as you start the journey of your life. She can beat this!!!
