I tried it and it worked....must be because I live in Illinois close to Chicago...
I feel lucky to be so close if I ever need it! Anyone else who would ever need to go there, I have plenty of room in my home..

Dear Sheila.....
.....have you heard of Cancer Treatment Centers of America located in Zion, Illinois, just north of Chicago? They have a Tomotherapy Unit which has a CT scan built right in. Patients can be scanned before treatment giving a more accurate result. The Tomo. can be used on patients who have reached their max. of radiation, as it only treats the cancer, sparing healthy tissue.
Love and Blessings from Lu Ann

Yes I know where it is, I worked in Zion for over a year at the Nuclear Plant...that is 120 miles from my house, but I know they have had marvelous results there. Thanks for sharing the info!
