Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I think it helped my mom, her rad-onc was very pleased with the results thus far. I'll be honest, it's been a long and slow healing process for mom but as you will read from all here RT takes healing time. I can't say whether the IMRT was easier/harder than Brachy as she had it done less than 3wks apart.
Deb, I hope your dad is doing well. I was thinking about him just today!
