Hi
It depends what stage the cancer is. Radiation stinks I did better with the chemo the after effects are not as bad with chemo. Radiation screwed up my swallowing and jaw movement.
The jaw is better but the swallowing not there is scar tissue from radiation and if you do not swallow alot during treatment the tissue gets stiff and it is hard to get your swallowing back to what it use to be the nurse told me it will not be the same as before they never told me to keep on swallowing during treatment plus I got alot of mucous from radiation. They say it is the gift that keeps on giving. If he doesn't have to do it I wouldn't but it depends what size the tumor was and what stage he was at.

god bless
