Sandy,
It sounds like you're up for the same routine I went through.
We did three rounds of chemo then did TOMO radiation treatments.
Got rid of the BOT cancer but it came back on my Lymph nodes 8 months later and had it removed. Day at a time, try to be as positive about it as you can and it will be over before you know it. The group here helped me alot with feeding through my tube and eating again afterwards. Do you have many fillings in your teeth?? I do and the radiation really burnt my tongue...I got some of the little cotton rolls the my dentist uses, stacked two on top of each other and wrapped them with a piece of tape and made like a bite-wing. Put them inside between my tongue and jaw on each side and it really helped to keep it from getting burnt again.
