My dad had 5 tubes inside, and 5 tubes outside his cheek.
He honestly said it didn't bother him at all, not during, and not after. He said that it was much easier than IMRT for him.
I hope this eases your mind, hopefully it will be the easiest treatment of all for you as well.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love from Wooster,
Deb
