Is IMRT the 3d rad? My Mom is on her 4 week of having it daily with one week of chemo behind her and she has really bad mouth dryness and unbearable mouth sores. How long will the mouth sores last? She can't open her mouth too wide with out it bleeding. After her 4th week of rad she is going to get the double rad treatments daily for 2 weeks. This worries me since she is already in so much pain. Any thoughts?
