Dear Allen,
The amount of radiation that one may have depends upon that person. Each
person can tolerate a different amount. It has to do with the size of
the person, height and weight, along with the size and location of the
tumor. The radiologist oncologist would be the person to answer this for
you.

Currently, my wife cancer cell on her upper spine is causing pressure to her nerve resulting in losing her muscle movement on her both legs. Tomarrow will be her 10th hit and was wondering if she will ever be able to move her legs???
