I was sorry to read about your anaphylactic response to it. Very glad you were being watched closely! That must have been a frightening experience. Still unsure about more IMRT also. I hate for Ron to have to go through all of it again but from what I have read, I think chemo works better when used with radiation (?). So as hard as it will be, I kind of hope he will do both again. We just want it gone! Lori
