Hi Everybody,
My son is 6 years old has been diagnosed with medallublastoma. Radiation oncologist has told me several impacts of radiation on a 6 year old. Can anybody tell me in more detail the impacts of radiation at his age and also I am in NZ and was hoping to go over to USA for Proton beam therapy as I have been told that is less risky. Would proton beam therapy reduce the impacts of radiation? Would be useful to know any views?
Thanks |
