    Radiation in areas that have been radiated before

    Hello donfoo,

    Thanks for the info. I tried to google Radiation for 2nd time on same site usig OCF or Oral Cancer Foundation and could not find a match easily. if you have a link to it can you please send it to me.  Basically at the latest I have until August 30th to change the course of my treatment, not much time.

    Thanks

     

    join up then search

    I did a search on "reradiation" in the search box on the site itself after logging in. Plenty of hits. The search box does not show up unless you are logged in.

    Cameron, prayers and hope

    Cameron, prayers and hope sent your way that your husband will get through treatments in flying colors!  My husband is just a little bit ahead in the journey.  He chose to have the cancer removed robotically and he'll start radiation the end of this month.  It is a long, hard journey ... but there are many success stories on here.  Keep your chin up, your care for your husband will help him win this battle.
