More info, more radiation

Finally received a copy of the detailed pathologists report. Unfortunately it includes new information that confirms the cancer has gone outside the usual submandibular gland area. It seems to me further confirmation to go ahead with the second operation.

I understand Chris Nutting the radiotherapist is going to include the new area of cancer and extend the RT up to the base of my skull, instead of including my neck.

Chris is on holiday this week, and has not updated me on this directly, so I don't know what the likely side effects will be. Hopefully more news tomorrow when I track down someone at the Marsden who knows anything about my treatment.
