Hi Rosie, Glad to know Heather is making progress on her diet. I am not sure how far your oncologist is true about radiation hitting young people most. At least he shouldn't say that Heather's case is the worst he has seen. This upsets people around.I think your previous doctor is right that not everyone can stand a full dose of radiation and people at a younger age can stand better. This was what I was told when given a full dose of radiation that if I had been 10 years older, I wouldn't have such treatment. ( I am in my 40s)Rosie, you must keep the strong faith that since Heather is young, she can certainly recover gradually. Don't compare with those who had a speedy recovery. Everyone is unique. Take care.
Karen.
