Tha article would scare the crap out of anyone and I am not sure how it's presence on the forum serves the best interest of the members here. Not that this information shouldn't be some where on the site - just not here. Factually most of us have had radiation and are getting along very well.

I do recommend that you check the computer monitor that displays the machine setup parameters (there's usually always one in the treatment room) that YOUR NAME is on the program. There have been instances here like a lady who had her "prostate" irradiated because the previous patient was a no show and they didn't change the program.
