Marma,
Regarding side effects ... post TX.

There is book a neighbor (retired PCP) gave me titled 'Radiaiton Pathology' that I found is also online (Google books). Parts and pages are missing from the online version, but it has lots of info and it is SEARCHABLE.

If you run into a missing pages with seemingly critical info, let me no and I will be happy to scan and email them to you.

There are some another online books another neighbor's sister who happens be an RO told me about. One is 'Perez and Brady's Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology' and most of it seems to be online. Another is 'Radiotherapy for head and neck cancers' and covers the MDA protocol, but most of it is missing.

Charm recently posted some info from his 'path report' on vascular damage and there is a good discussion of this in the book I have, but not much on post RT Angiogenesis so that has peaked my curiosity.

Hope this is helpful
