My brother in law Ruben has to have some teeth extracted before he can start receiving the radiation therapy. (Five weeks, every day). They won't do the PET scan to see if the cancer spread to the lymph nodes until the teeth are removed. The oncologist said he now thinks it may have spread to the lymph nodes so he wants him to start chemo also.
So it will be extractions, PET scan, radiation and hopefully no chemo.
He is holding up pretty good but his voice is pretty much gone. The next 6-8 weeks will be tough for him. I'll keep you posted.
