Twice-daily radiation can bring unique challenges, and it's completely understandable to have questions about what to expect with this treatment schedule. Many community members have shared experiences with intensive radiation protocols, and connecting with others who've been through similar situations can provide valuable insights and emotional support. Consider reaching out to your care team about managing any side effects and discussing what comfort measures might help during treatment.

My husband did two a day and was glad he did to get it over with quicker. The does have a terrible cough and the swallowing is difficult at times, but according to his Dr those symptoms would have been there with the one a days.
