Another post from me.

I had IMRT plus chemo. I wasn't offered a choice of "traditional". According to my Med ONCologist, the IMRT is a no-brainer. The IMRT can pinpoint the radiation to the cancer location and spare a lot of surrounding tissue. All my saliva is not yet back, but it is coming. I wasn't able to talk for about three weeks becasue my voice was so weak, but that was a small price to pay for my successful treatment. Since I have had successful IMRT, I would vote for it. It is the latest and works. You will hate the mask, as we all did.
