Hello Tom.
Welcome to the Oral Cancer Foundation! You won't find a more informative site on the web for this diaease.
I received 33 treatments of IMRT radiation eight weeks after surgery for a stage 4, poorly differentated SSC tumor on my right tonsil. (stage 4) I had a pech flap.
I was one of the lucky ones that had almost no side efects others have experienced from IMRT. I was tired more than normal but I think I would have been anyway. Going thru a 17 hour operation will do that.
At times I wondered if the maxhine was on? No burns, thrush, mouth sores, nothing at all!!
Hoping you can sail through like I did. There is plenty of info if you use the search engine at the top of the page. You want to have all needed
meds and supplies ahead of time if you suffer alot of side effects.
All My Best, Danny Boy
