ANITA, radiated tissue has characteristics that normal tissue doesn't have. It is and will always be radiated tissue and everyones body chemistry reacts to it in a different manor. I have seen radiated tissue from a cadaver and opposed to normal cadaver tissue it appears more dead and even the cells are different.
