Your doctors are thorough, that is so reassuring. So if you have 30 sessions, does this mean different spots are treated every day ( rotating the targeted areas?)until the whole “geography” is radiated? or is it the same exact patches every day? I love how you know the docs want the best , they really do! Party on April 5.:)

My understanding is that they will radiate the same area for 1 min or so a day. Again, my understanding is that the 30 days vs 15 vs 20 is to spread out the impact. The "prescription" is for a certain amount of radiation and spreading it out allows my body to recover a bit between sessions and hopefully symptoms are mitigated. (Kind of like spreading a 2 day chemo across 5 days (this happened for my 1st chemo)). Hope this makes sense. {{Any medical professionals, please feel free to correct my understanding, thanks.}}
