Radiation to bones
Can someone please explain in their words what this procedure does and how it works and what is it used for. Is it true that once you radiate an area (lets say L5) it can only be done once? At what point should one consider this as a treatment option? I have had some worsening in the L5 area and she did mention that we can "shoot it".
Thank you
Shonda
