It really depends on the field to be radiated, how long it has been since previous radiation, etc. Also you may have had "old style" radiation and now there is IMRT which is much more accurate. Make sure you investigate this option. I wouldn't be here today if they had not done the 2nd course of radiation.
Good luck, and don't forget - we are here to walk every step WITH YOU.
