In first post to you, I included a link for Treatments. There you can read all about radiation and the different types. There are links within the tabs to give you even more detailed information. Here is the US most radiation is IRMRT, some Proton and even fewer brachytherapy (seed implant radiation). Im sorry, I do not know what Cobalt 60 or linear accelerator are.
PS... I sent you a private message back in October with links to review. Please check your messages and follow the directions in the links to add your signature as soon as possible. We need your basic background of your history to be best able to help you. Thank you!
