Michelle- Neil had a re-focus towards the end of his radiation also. They try to narrow the field of radiation to spare the surrounding area. That's how it was explained to us. Neil's tastebuds are starting to come back now. He is about 4 months post radiation. He is also starting to get feeling back in his face which is something they said might not happen. Nerves have a mind of their own sometimes. You can't be everywhere at once. Maybe you can call the doctor for a recap of what you missed.
