David- I thought I covered everything but I guess I left out some important info.

She is 66 years old, a non-smoker, non-drinker. I don't know exactly how much radiation she had previously I just know that it was 43 years ago when technology wasn't as good. I think it was cobalt. It burned her entire neck. Generally her health is ok. She takes blood pressure meds,thyroid med and cholesterol med.

Hope this helps.
