    Radiation therapy uses special equipment to send high doses of radiation to the cancer cells. Most cells in the body grow and divide to form new cells. But cancer cells grow and divide faster than many of the normal cells around them. Radiation works by making small breaks in the DNA inside cells. According to my knowledge radiation does not harm. And it is very useful in treating cancer. A friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer few months ago. Her treatment is still going on at the advanced radiation center of New York, which they came to know about through her physician’s reference. She had already attended many sessions since last few weeks, and is still recovering.
