Help Re: Radiation

My husband started radiation treatments yesterday and temodar; he was diagnosed with AAIII in March.  Surgery at Duke, over 90% resection, some deficits, but working, playing softball, etc.  God is blessing him.  Anyway, he started radiation on a machine called a tomoTherapy machine.  They are doing CT scans every other day; actually they did one yesterday and today.  But, are saying they will need to do one 3 times a week to make sure the radiation is going where it is suppose to.  Is that normal?  He is already getting so much radiation from the treatments, but now with these CT scans to his whole brain, it kind of surprised me.  What is everyone elses experience?

Thanks,

I think its great that he as a scane every few days, that way they can keep a good eye on it. I had radiation 6 years ago and I wish they would have done that for me. I hope everything goes well for you guys I know it can take alot out of a family.

I had a week of Tomotherapy following 3 weeks on the linear accelerator.  The CT scans are a necessary component for Tomo.  I've had no growth in my AA3 tumor since the end of radiation MRI in October of 2006.
