Trust your instincts and fight as hard as you can. Dad took 27 IMRT and finally made up his mind to quit there w/o the bracy, but he's older and has another cancer (NHL) he's being treated for as well, so he's at a different point than you. I admire your courage and your willingness to go the distance. Hang in there!
