Kim,

I think your earlier posts indicated you were going to a major cancer center -- if so, your head and neck team should be able to recommend the best course of radiation. IMRT has some distinct advantages in terms of limiting long-term side effects, but none of us here has enough information (or background) to say whether it's right for you. Your team should be able to explain their recommendation to you and help you understand the reasons for their opinions, and if you search this site you'll also find a whole range of experiences with various forms of radiation.
