Thank you all so much for your replies. Very much appreciated. My mom is on her 3rd day of treatment. So far she is in good spirits. She said she is tolerating wearing the mask. It does not bother her. She is pretty tuff for a 70 yr old. I am so amazed at the strength that my mother shows. She never complains about anything.
She is doing her flouride treatments nightly.

I will be going with her on monday for treatment and to talk to the RO. I have many questions for him.
Nobody has mentioned a peg tube or anything. So I will be asking alot of questions.
I first want to find out what dosage of radiation they are giving her. She is getting IMRT treatments.
I remember when we first went to meet with the RO he said that they were only doing radiation because she has had SCC before. If this would have been the first time she got it he would even question doing radiation.
He said they are not treating an active tumor at this point. They are treating her to hopefully prevent it from coming back and any microscopic cancer cells.
If she has to have a peg down the road then we will deal with it then.
I don't see the benefit of putting one in now.
That would cause her to worry and the risks involved of putting one in.
I plan on asking about meeting with a nutritionist regarding her calorie intake etc.

Thanks again, I will keep posting,
Michelle
