Much depends on exact location of original rads, length of time between courses of rads and only experienced RO will be able to determine if this is an option. Lets not get ahead of yourself with this. Lets see what the complete diagnosis is first. Sounds like there is a good team who is on top of everything.
Best wishes!!!
