WBR dosage?
Consultation with 2 rad oncos
1st wants to do 22 days total dosage of 4400cgys
2nd wants to do 14 days total dosage of 3500cgys
From what I'm hearing stretching it out is better but if I'm not mistaken (unlike chemo which is mostly flushed out of body within a couple of days) the effect of the radiation keeps killing off cells for months after it must be hangging around a long time. So the total cumulative dosage (not to exceed a specified amount on any day for safety) should be all that matters right?
So why does a longer application period matter?
