When we went to the Rad. Onc. he told us that it was a one time deal. That there was too much risk of damage to the spine.

This was reiterated by the ENT.

There is a man that we see at rad. everyday who is doing his second trip. He was first diagnosed in 2001 and this recurrance was diagnosed at Christmas. When he said this was his second time we were a little stunned based on what we had been told before.

He had XRT the first time and is now doing IMRT.

I wonder that since we are only IMRT if that has something to do with the non repeat information that we got from the docs?

Definately something to look into.
