Thank you all for responding.

Great news Lenny on CT results. Hopefully that has eased your mind and you can continue to heal.

We meet with the RO next week. I can tell you I hate the waiting game.
Thanks Gary for your information.

Can anyone explain more about the radiation phases. I am sure I will find out everything next week. What is the C-arm xray and the simulation on the actual LINAC? Do they do another CT?
These flouride treatments, are they to be done everyday while you are getting radiation?

Sorry for all the questions.
I work in the medical field as an RN but I am not familiar with radiation. I work in a hospital on a Telemetry Unit and I just started a new casual position with hospice.
Thanks Nelie for your informaiton. Hope things are going well for you.
They have not mentioned chemo.
I have my list of questions for the RO.
I will be bringing up the peg tube and see what he suggests. My mother's tooth was pulled on opposite side of the cancer on her tongue.
I am not sure if they are going to radiated the entire tongue or just the one side. Does anyone have any idea. Her CT of neck was normal but I am pretty sure they will radiated the one side of her neck, cancer side of tongue.
Like I said before in 1986 and 1988 she had SCC on tongue with just surgery. In 2003 dysplasia and surgery again. So with her history just wondering if they should radiate both sides of neck???
Looking back she should of had a Pet Scan done prior to any treatment. I remember asking the RO when we first met with him about PT scan and he mentioned not at this time because I think he was thinking the ENT dr. was going to take some lymph nodes out and check them. Then the ENT dr. said he was not going to remove any lymph nodes because CT was normal and they were going to do radiation anyhow.
I am going to request that she have a Pet Scan and a chest xray. She is 4 wks post op from surgery and had the one tooth 2 days ago. See the RO next Wed. We would have seen him this week but he was gone this week on vacation, I guess.
Does anyone think they would be able to do the Pet scan prior to the start of radiation or will that be to soon?
Thanks again everyone
Take care
