I'm sure if it were an option, my oncologist would have mentioned it by now. He's one of the best in the DFW area, |
I fully understand what you & meganmomma are saying but that is not what the comercial is saying at all. When I get a chance to hear it again I will rite down the Hosp name & I will call them about it & post whatever I find out for you. My mom used to work at the hosp here & told me a few yrs ago that they were working on using it for other areas of the body then so maybe it is very new still, IDK.
