@loiswhitfield Lois, the side effects of radiation are not good. Like many of us on this blog we know. If I could've safely got away with not having radiation I would've. I hope your decision is the right one. Good luck.

@harleytiger hear you .. if I had known and fully aware of all these late effects of radiation - I, too, would have opt out of radiation. My lifestyle and the meaning of being alive is gone - my personal view!
Take care!

I keep second guessing myself. Every little pain or feeling I get seems like the cancer has come back. I have appt with my oncologist surgeon on Friday, July 3. She wants to see me and maybe will schedule a MRI sooner than August. Wishing you the best outcome and praying things go well for you. Everything is still so new to me. Just found out I was stage 4 with squamous cell carcinoma on the parotid gland in August 2025.
