Bill, My apologies for that last post. I forgot that you had said there was no need for surgery. Good to hear also that your R.O. is saying he will treat you with IMRT if you prefer. It's good that you don't have the lymph node involvement because I think the majority of my husband's post treatment issues have to do with the modified neck dissection. You should be in good shape if they can do a good job sparing the salivary glands. Best of luck to you.
