Dr. Hochman follows the German protocol by Prof Seegenschmiedt. That protocol is 3GY, for 5 days with a break of appx 12 weeks and then another 3GY, for 5 days. I waited the full 12 weeks. I had no post radiation therapy complications. Some people do experience some side effects like extremely dry skin to a few people blistering and the skin becoming inflamed/red.
The above machine was used to administer the radiation therapy. The attachment is where the mold is located. The mold then is placed precisely over the foot and lined up with the doctors drawing and tattoo area. They lay a "bolus" over my foot. This is a cool damp feeling material that allows the radiation to be delivered closest to the skin. Then the radiation therapy is administered. Lasting appx 45 seconds per foot.
