Can you share with us what changed the doctors initial decision about using IMRT with your mom? It may help those that are dealing with a doctor who is suggesting conventional when they want IMRT looked into. Was it lack of knowledge on this doctors part or has the situation with your mom changed.
Thanks,
Minnie
