Thanks David for the info. I did ask today what my gy was and you were right, it is 70gy. I only have 7 more treatments for a total of 39 which puts me close to 8 weeks total treatment time. Then I get to wait for the PET scan at 2 months. I guess these rechecks will be scary but I might as well get used to them early on. I am assuming the IMRT is one reason I have not had such horrible side effects. I look forward to saying mine treatment was YEARS ago !
