Subject: Radiation tx side effects
Date: 03/30/2008
I have just undergone a second surgery for recurrent Medullary thyroid cancer, my first surgery was in 89.  My surgeon is recommending Radiation treatment, IMRT.  After meeting with two radiation oncologists and hearing about the side effects, both during and after the treatment, I am extremely reluctant to proceed.  Can anyone who has been through this course of treatment share their experience? . Any feedback would be appreciated. Barbg

Haven't seen any replies for you so perhaps you could Google the radiation treatment and see what is said - or ask your doctor what other patients have experienced.....
