Hi David, Just to let you know. My brother in law had 4 chemo treatments, once a week for 4 weeks. This while having rad once a day. His doctors said that the chemo would hopefully kill any cancer cells that broke away from the primary tumor and tried to settle somewhere else. I hope this info helps. I would also be curious to know your doctors response to this idea. By the way, my brother in law is being treated at the Cox Cancer Center at MGH in Boston. Gwenny
