Suggest Treatment For Benign Lymphoid Hyperplasia
Question: I remember! I will begin 10 days of radiation treatment beginning March 18 which I am reluctant to do because of the heavy head dress which I will wear each time for 15-20 minutes or so, as it gives me claustrophobia. The doctor wanted to do 20 treatments but I didn't want that, but I wonder if I the time will now be double- do you think? I have benign lymphoid hyperplasia. I don't have any pain in my eye, and I can see without glasses, as I don't have any right now. What do you think about what I have said?
Thank you for writing. Will you answer this note?
