Everyone, I use that term to save space! I decided to do the Radiation after all. My doctor (the Surgeon) and the Radiation doctor were convincing enough. I have researched it and it is common practice even though I wondered how effective. I went last week to start and they fitted me with the mask(the worst part for me) and ran a CT. I was in the mask for what seemed like a half hour. Then they tatooed a dot on my chest. It will be IMRT and it takes a long time to do the mapping. From what I know there are up to 48 Lymph Nodes. The machine is 1 year old and they brought me in there and showed it to me. They are going to supply music and try to make itgo by quickly,but the machine moves alot I guess. This not like my first time. The first time was very focused on my throat. He also said he was going to give me 60 instead of 70 McCi. I know I've got the Acronym wrong. He said I might not have the harsh side effects I had the first time, but keep the feeding tube just in case. I have already had it since the first week of June. It seems like a long time ago that I almost died but I am growing more used to having a hole in my neck and talking with an electro-larynx. The feeding tube is just an inconvience. I start Radiation this Wednsday and Tuesday I have to go in to see if it is right. So I'm hoping that the swelling doesn't freak the Nodes out and result in more Cancer. No Chemo was recommended, thank the Lord. I can thank the Lord and still be a Buddhist! Don't ask! That is a longer story. Thank you for asking and I get strength from all of you.
