Merry, her schedule shows IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy). Reading up on IMRT shows that it is less likely to cause damage to surrounding (non-target) tissue and organs while delivering a higher target total dose. We will keep an eye out for skin burns at the receptor sites - thanks for the tip.
I am doing much better now that Liz is actually receiving treatment and we have the access issue resolved. With all the help we have been blessed with, we are both doing better today than even a week ago. Thanks for asking!!
