Michele,

Same thing happened to me. My radiation doctor told me 7 to 8 weeks, but when I talked with the technicians, they would look at the chart (in the computer), and there was only 25 days "scheduled". At the 20th day, the Dr. assessed the progress, and finalized the amount (and type) of treatments (39 days). The fields varied. I had left and right "broad" treatments all 39 days, 12 of those days had an additional narrow "cone" treatment, and I also had 25 days of a broad frontal treatment. It stinks when they don't know where the primary tumor is, because there is more collateral damage. But, he'll get through this, and better times are ahead.

Not knowing or guessing is no fun. Just ask the doctors. You have a support system in place to bounce things off of.
