Sorry for the confusion folks. I am new to all of this and thought XRT was short for all radiation. The radiation that will be done on me is IMRT. I am currently leaning towards concurrent cisplatin/IMRT but am awaiting a recommendation from UCSF's tumor board tomorrow. I was fitted for the mask and did the simulation today. Fun! Also, I will add my statistics to my signature as soon as I figure out what they should look like.

What have any of you heard about doing less rigorous treatments for HPV positive?

Thanks for your thoughts, help, suggestions, and responses. Please keep them coming.

Thanks,
Frank Williams
