Please keep the info coming. I am inquiring for my husband. I've got a couple of health care professionals checking it out for me. We would have to move out of state for it. We only have IMRT in Georgia.

I had Tomo treatment to my throat. I had the same side effects that most have but not as sever and not permanent. It is a wonderful machine. I was invited to their plant in Wisconsin to see the Tomo Machine being built. You can check them out at tomotherapy dot com. There are sereral patient profiles there along with mine.
Do not let your Doctors dictate the quality of care that your husband will recieve. Remember health care is big business and these Doctors want you in their hospital even if it is not the best.

Well said mark, i traveled to get the tomo, if cancer should ever come back in the same area with tomo it can be re-radiated in that same area. I had 32 head and neck rad treatments for a rare cancer in that area, i had some normal problems but i am sure that had i not had the state of the art treatment it would have played out a lot worse. I got mine at the cancer treatments of america. If you go to c.t.c.a web site you can see how it works and also some other intresting cancer fighting machines.....good luck
