Well I had 3 rads, then I got the PEG and the gastroenerologist saw some "stuff" and they opened up the radiation field to be safe. It was probably overkill but I am still glad we did it. This also coincided with my Erbitux adventure (anaphylactic shock). There were then 8 days without any rads (recalculation and weekends) and then it continued for the full course.
