Thanks. I'm still learning how to find my way around the message board.

My mom is a little better. The swelling is down a little and some of the membrane is gone. Some of what Donnarose described above is happening with my mom also. I know that she is just getting plain frustrated at how long this is taking. We all thought that once she had completed radiation, she would begin to gradually feel better. That hasn't happened yet.


CG to mom (non smoker) during treatment. Dx 7/07 SCC side and base of tongue, Stage 3/4, T4, N1. Refused surgery. Completed tx (41 rads, 8 chemo) 10/07. PET on 1/9/08 showed active cancer. Fought bravely until the end -- 2/12/08.
