Hi Susan,

I had IMRT in 2004 when it was fairly new, and with time it is improving, but today I would want to get opinions about it from centers that do not use it as well. There can be problems for a small number of patients with either type of radiation. However, I did end up with an area of radiation necrosis, and the head radiologist at the center where I was treated did not even recognize it, although my surgeon did.
