Dear Chelee,

IMRT is what I had at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I went there for a second opinion when the rad. onc. here said he could not treat both my spine mets and mediastynm.

They also got a new Tomotherapy unit 2 years ago. I was there when they were constructing the building around the Unit. The Tomotherapy is used primarily for brain tumors and areas that have had the limit of rad. treatment. The unit zeros in on the tumor and spares the normal tissue. I would at least call them and get info.

Love and Blessings
Lu Ann
