Hi, as some of you know I will be starting radiation in the next couple weeks. It still has yet to be determined when exactly and how long I will be doing so. I am thinking that I will probably do a 35x treatment to my left neck and possibly my tongue since that is where it originated. However I have had a partial glossectomy and a neck dissection taking out 10 nodes already. My question is has any of you continued to work throught the full treatment of radiation? My job entails me talking a lot and long hours however I do not do any strenuous. I will have to let my work know and I am afraid that they will be finding a replacement for me since I have already been out for the last 2 surgeries. Even though I have my neck dissection on wed afternoon and will be returning to work on tuesday! From what I was told it would put me out 2-3 weeks...maybe I am stupid to go back but everyone knows how tough it is to live in this economy! Especially in south florida! Please let me know if anyone has talked this battle while continuing to work a full time job. Thanks again

Jim
