Question where did they radiate the first time. I was told if I had a reocurrance radiation would not be an option. I stay scared something will show up and I will not have any options. You have a great attitude, GOD BLESS YOU

My first radiation was the left supraclavicular lymph nodes and lower neck area. This time its the right side. I was told that this would be it for radiation of my head and neck. So after this I quess I'll be in the same situation as many of us already are. Praying that this gets everything thats there.
