Hi all! My sister has her first radiation consultation this Friday that I'll be taking her to. I was wondering what we might expect? She had surgery to remove the parotid gland (the salivary gland in front of your ear) three weeks ago. Negative margins and one lymph node involved. Currently has nerve damage on that side of her face and is very depressed. She's also very thin (about5'7" and 118 lbs.). She's having pain in her jaw and says she is eating very little so I'm very worried about the upcoming treatments. I encouraged her to get a dental appt. but she hasn't done that yet. Her doctor didn't say a word about that. Anyway, any insight on what to expect Friday would be much appreciated!
