@catsandra, I can imagine you're concerned about the potential damage that radiation can do. The radiation specialists will deliver the treatment to have the maximum effect while trying to minimize negative impacts. They will monitor you closely.
The radiation can kill cancerous cells, reduce the size of the nodules and/or eliminate them, slowing the progression.
Are you getting radiation every day? How is it going?
