I posted a similar message on the intro page but thought it made sense to post here as well. I was originaly diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of tongue Nov 2001, had partial glossectomy and neck disection confrming no nodal involvement. I just had a recurrence (or was it a new primary) March 31, 2006, had another partial glossectomy, and am scheduled to begin IMRT radiation in 2-3 weeks. Any guidance on what I should be doing to prepare for radiation is greatly appreciated. I don't want to only rely on what the nurses say as many things on this board appear very relevant to me. Is there anything I should do ahead of radiation because it just won't be the same experience post radiation? Foods, etc.. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extacted the other day to kick off this fun process. Thanks in advance and thanks to others who have already responded to my posting on intro page
