Well it has been a little over a month since I last posted, but to update everyone. My mother has decided to receive the radiation, she will get IMRT 6000(I guess is the dose)X30. she is being treated at Kaiser in Hollywood, however she did go the UCLA for her dental trays and tongue depressor to be made. Last week she was fitted for her mask and had a ct scan. Next week more x-ray's and then she will start treatment. The only problem she is having right now is trying to practice keeping the tongue depressor in her mouth for 30-40 minutes, she says she can't swallow and it makes her panic. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Sherri
