We went through alot of conflicting opinions and discussion when my husband was trying to decide if chemo should be added to his radiation. Because there was extracapsular spread in a lymph node, we decided he should go ahead with it. He was scheduled for chemo once per week for the 7 weeks of radiation, but was only able to complete 4 of them due to side effects. But I think he is glad that he did everything he could

He is now about 13 months post treatment and doing very well.
