Hi Donna. Thanks, it's good to be home. I had my brachytherapy in May 2008 (2nd time with cancer) and didn't have too much trouble with it. This latest treatment (April 2009) is what I am unsure about. I am getting stronger each day and the walking doesn't seem like it will be a problem. The site they removed bone for a mandible is looking good. But I'm not quite sure what to expect as far as swallowing, talking and eating due to the tongue replacement with a flap and mandible replacement.
