It is my understanding that I have had my full dose of radiation for head and neck cancer, however, I believe that if it were in another part of my body I could have radiation again......Let us know what your docs say......I will keep my fingers crossed for you (you can do the same for me if you wish) I am having surgery 12/14.....Thanks, Carol
