Buzz has had #18 of 33 IMRT on right jaw Friday. It appears that the LEFT jaw is just as burned as the targeted right; he is having much pain there. He states that a 'block' is inserted in his mouth during tx. I thought this would prevent radiation from 'passing through' to left jaw. THANK YOU for your input!
