I went to a CCC, Moffitt, in Tampa, Fl. I was told my MO that I couldn't have rad again because there would be to much damage to the blood vessels the 2nd time around. Make sure you ask them about the risks associated with the 2nd rad Tx. Not saying I wouldn't opt for it anyway but I would definately ask more questions and seek other opinions before I mad up my mind.
