Thanks for the reminder about the speech/swallowig evaluation. Our RO nurse told us about that and, frankly, it had slipped our minds. I'll call on Monday.

David, Tom had 33 IMRT treatments following a tosilectomy. We do think the surgery has made the healing more of a challenge. He just saw his ENT a week ago who looked around and said he was doing fine.

Thanks for all the advice! I'm so glad to have this community to turn to!
