MK, where is her primary tumor? You also said that after surgery, more cancer was found. Possibly the cancer is multiple locations and they feel IMRT is not the best option. It needs to be said often on here that not all cancers can be treated with IMRT. It would be great if they could, but it's simply not the case.
Good luck with it all.
