Yes, I will receive radiation on both sides, and have been told by RO that off-side rads will be lighter than on-side.

P.S. Ambra, dance club has a Halloween Costume party Friday night. I'm going as a football ref willing to take a bribe/payoff to help Arkansas win at least one more football game this season. That should stir them up.
