I think this threaed has produced some very valuable infomation, and anyone getting ready for radiation treatments will benefit from reading all the various opinions here. We are lucky to have such informed individuals participatijng on this message board. I think the net of these discussions is clear and we should put this thread up in the FAQ section at the top of the message board. Thank you all for weighing in. One of my favorite and balanced posters is Mark, who has not voiced an opinion. If you are out there Mark let's hear from you, and perhaps you would in your post distill the conclusions pro and con (which you like to do in your posts so much) based on what you get from this thread.
