Minnie has faced the recurrence again recently--check out her blog here, maybe she has an answer in there. My mom had IMRT and brachytherapy, not sure what "lifetime" radiation is, but our RO said for my mother that if necessary she could have more radiation if needed. I'll keep you both in my thoughts. Keep us posted. Donna
