A.   “Your cancer is widespread and requires more than the usual amount of radiation treatment.”
B.   “The cost of giving larger doses of radiation for a shorter period of time is unjustified by the results.”
C.   “Research has shown that more cancer cells are killed if the radiation is given in smaller doses over a longer time period.”
D.   “It is less likely that your hair will fall out or that you will become anemic if the radiation is given in small doses over a longer time period.”
