Throat Cancer Radiation Therapy - Long Version

When an individual has been diagnosed with a form of head and neck cancer, radiation therapy is a very common treatment modality that may be recommended. Radiation therapy, administered by a radiation oncologist physician, is accomplished by directing a stream of radiation particles that is molded to precisely the cancer’s 3D shape. Furthermore, the radioactive beam is rotated continuously around the cancer to ensure healthy tissue is not overly exposed, but collectively, keeping the focus of the radiation beams all centered on the cancer itself resulting in shrinkage to eventual elimination.

Anyone who is reading this. Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life. Repent of your sins and Turn from your wickedness. Follow Him and be Holy

That has nothing to do with cancer! Bad things happen to good people!
