I must say that Lani's post gave me some concern since I am exposed students who are sick on a daily basis. I thought is was alarming to read about the potential damage to the thymus gland. Considering all my treatments, radiation treatment was the most upsetting. My stereotactic radiation to the brain caused necrosis and I have had to have two surgeries as a result. At this point the MRIs indicate that this effect is subsiding. I certainly hope that I don't have anymore issues with brain mets. I really do not wish to receive any more radiation.
