Suggest Precautions To Be Taken During Radiation Therapy
Hi,
I am sick of my mom's daily complaints about her effect of radiation. She recently underwent a cancer surgery.She was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in her buccal mucosa.She was operated before problems could prove fatal. since she is a very religious lady she quite often keeps on reading holy books of all three major religions.She cant eat from her mouth and is presently on PEG tube.

She can take food through tube, but still she should try food by mouth .mouth washes are very essential while on radiation , oral hygeine is very important.Dont take spicy and oily food.Take water as much as possible.
