I am living proof that you can take much more than the "maximum" radiation. Two years ago, I was told that 72GY was the max although one doctor said 77GY. With 97GY cumulative radiation, I do have a lot of radiation damage (swallowing, trismus, mucous, petrified neck, etc) but if you do join our club house, there is still hope for treatment.
