My Radiation Therapy

I got some information from Dr. Carmel about my radiation. I had him write it down so I could share it with my friend, Mitch. Mitch used to work with nuclear energy. Here is what Dr. Carmel said:

6 & 15 MV (megavolt = 1 million volts) xrays are what they are using for my radiation therapy.

200 cGy per day

centigray (cen·ti·gray) (sen¢t[ibreve]-gr[amacr]²) a unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one hundredth of a gray, or 1 rad; abbreviated cGy

That's a lot of lightbulbs.

Here is a link to an article about The Basics Of Radiation Therapy that I found helpful.
