There are several places but I would start here. There are numerous members who have endured radiation and have a good understanding of how it works.

I remember when Harry first started radiation and people kept asking me was it XRT or IMRT. I had no clue. But I asked at the hospital and the people here in this forum explained to me the differences and what I should know about the different side affects that are caused by each.

You can also seach this website and through the archived messages for information.

If you need further information you might try Google searching using the terms above. (XRT & IMRT)

I am sorry to hear about all that you mother is having to endure.

I wish you all the best.
