Hi brm1949,

This is your old and new friend Danny Boy. Nice to hear from you again but I'm sorry you have to fight this battle for a second time.
I had 33 treatments of IMRT and had one side effect. About three or four weeks into it I developed a cough. The kind where you can't surpress it. My doctor prescribed a med in pill form and it cleared up in about two weeks. I had no mouth sores, no skin burns, nothing. I was wondering if they were doing it right after reading about others trials with radiation.

Wishing you nothing but the best,

Danny Boy
