Dennis had proton radiation the first time around but this time he is going to have IMRT True Beam 2 that stands for (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy True Beam 2). This radiation will also be able to pinpoint the precise location of the cancer and beam straight to it taking less chance of hurting Dennis’s spinal cord. Plus this type of radiation is used more on patients with neck and head areas. The doctor said his saliva gland will be affected so he will need to drink a lot of fluids to keep his mouth moist. They are planning on 28 treatments of radiation starting on September 10, 2013
