Hey Connie,
No problem.
I think having imrt, Erbitux and then brachy immediately after fried her mouth. Really think brachy alone won't be as bad.
Mom has become so much more independent, each day she tries to do more and more alone. I haven't been able to let go all the way yet-it's hard as she is still so fragile emotionally at times.
She wished you much luck and said she would be happy to speak with you.
