it does sound like they will do the stent before radiation.. i guess the stent is to make the carotid artery stronger because the tumor that will be radiated is close to it and they dont want the artery shutting down.. yes, it has been going on for a long time.. my dad is very strong willed.. but how much can one person physically take? :-(
