    Check the roll call

    I can't help you with the names of radiation oncologists in Iowa (I'm from the Chicago area). But you may want to read through the responses on the latest "roll call" to see if any of the ladies who responsed were treated in Iowa. 

    https://csn.cancer.org/node/316954

    Not everyone on that roll call checks in frequently on this discussion board, so if you find someone you can always send a private message to her.

    If you have general questions about internal radiation you can always post them here. While I had only external radiation, other members had internal radiation and would be happy to share their experience.

    Not much help here, but you are at a good place

    My cousin was in Iowa City for Leukemia, and is a one year survivor. That doesn't help you much with the internal radiation, but they are a great hospital and I would be confortable having a treatment there for sure.
