From your signature line, it appears you have about 40 IMRT treatments. I'm guessing up to about 70-77 GY. Which is why radiologists not familiar with the latest studies keep telling OCF members about having the "maximum" and no more radiation can be done. Except that it's not always true. I had 40 radiation treatments entirely on my left side and 72 GY. When the cancer came back, my ENT pushed the radiologist who then used CyberKnife to give me yet another whopping 25 GY, this time 5GY at a shot for a week to nuke the cells that survived the salvage surgery. He admitted that I was the first one he had done this for, but it's been almost 3 years and I do not glow in the dark. Seriously, ask your doctors about CyberKnife or the other focused variants.
