When radiation gets you to a point that is unbearable, just stop radiation. The prescribed dosage is not a magic number, merely a guess by the radiologist onc. He doesn't know what cumulated radiation your body already received since birth. There is a finite total you should not exceed, otherwise you are inviting new cancers caused by radiation. I worked in a hospital, many medical professionals do not follow their oncs suggested dosages.
