Hi all. Timm's wife again. So we met with rad oncologist & they recommended radiation only, no chemo, for 6 weeks. My question is on dosage & side effects differences between receiving 60gy & receiving 70+gy??? Been devouring board but haven't been able to come up with anything yet (user error I am sure). Anyway, I know everyone is different & reacts differently, but if anyone can shed more light on this, that would be great. Also, all his post surgery results were very good (c signature below...i tried to update it). smile

Thanks once again!!
