No PT was rx'd by anyone for the Jaw/Mouth...Although, I've been doing that since reading about it in this forum on a post.
Nor, did anyone at Stanford suggest PT for the neck surgery, however, Drs at MDAnderson wrote me an order for it after seeing how tight it was.
There are so many little nuances to treatment...Just like the Amifostene...Some use it, some don't.
Just goes to show you again, how different treatments can be from one institution to another.
From what I was told, Sloan has virtually "banned" Amifostene, but don't quote me on that exactly.
Where do I get this Thera-bite system?
