Not really.... just an ALIEN with extraordinary abilities..... (according to an INS letter).... which created lots of jokes. Still cannot walk on water (unless it is frozen)

back to the issue at hand. Pain tolerance and how people respond to radiation is extremely variable. Also, I would expect that tissue damage also depends on the tumor volume. If your lesion is thin and on the surface it may be better tolerated. This what happened to me.
I remember correctly, there was one lady who was ROCK CLIMBING in the last week of treatment, now THAT is impressive. Dare I say it: Supergirl!
