Cherly,

If possible get to a CCC (comprehensive cancer center), I'm not sure of the closest one to you. You probably should get a 2nd opinion there. There used to be a link from the main page that listed them.

Why are they extracting his teeth? Are they in bad shape? There are many here, including myself, that didn't have any extractions. We must be vigilant about our dental hygeine, but that is a small doable for me.

Are the radiation treatments IMRT? My treatments were 33 once a day treatments with the weekends off. There are several here who had a similar to schedule to what is planned for your husband. Chemo was once every 21 days. Many get chemo weekly, what is your husband's chemo schedule?

Hope this helps a little
