I had surgery to remove ethesioneuroblastoma in my sphenoid sinus. I'm going to have a mixed radiation therapy of IMRT and PT (proton therapy). Anyone had experience with this kind of mixed threapy?

Thanks,

olivia

    Pronounciation....
    If I can't say it, I definitely don't want it...., LOL....

    I can't offer much other than a half statement...., I did have IMRT. But it was concurrent with weekly carboplatin and daily amifostine injections in the tummy....

    Interesting though, I'll have to read up on it.

    Oh, I did have a lot of PT, but that was while in the USMC :)...

    Thoughts and Prayers,
    John

    Awwww
    Makes more sense...was thinking that the protein therapy was some sort of dietary design.
