I will let you know Fri. after we meet with the radiologist.
After reading about the Tomo I was ready to go out and buy one.

I find it interesting that your RO preferred the IMRT. The Tomo kind of sounded like the grown up version of the IMRT. Same benefits with less side effects...so now I'm pretty curious myself about it.

David, are you saying the standard is based on the safest amount of radiation that can be given? Part of the throw the whole kitchen sink at it approach? Given what I've read here, I'm getting that being aggressive right out of the gate is important.

As of now, they are not suggesting any surgery for my husband. Not that I wanted him to have any but it made me a bit nervous given the treat it aggressively suggestions.

When I asked why he wasn't suggesting it, the MD said location and size were factors. I figured since he was a well known surgeon and wasn't suggesting cutting I should let him do his job and take his word for it.
