Radiation Offers New Cures and Ways to Do Harm - A New York Times Article

Over the weekend I received an e-mail from a fellow cancer patient, concerned about how radiation from his scans and potential therapy might--in effect--speed his cancer growth. An article I found in the New York Times, Radiation Offers New Cures, and Ways to Do Harm, addresses some of these issues. Interesting, because you hear ads for new "Cyber Knife" type radiation therapy machines in the main stream media a lot lately.

One thing I love about the New York Times is how extensive and detailed their articles can be--in this case, much too long to post here in it's entirety.

Feel good, keep smiling and read this article when you get a chance--especially if you are considering radiation cancer therapy!
