Hi, Barry,

I am so sorry you are dealing with going through treatment again. The chemo is a good idea as it augments the effects of the radiation (also gives you more side effects so follow David's recommendations). Without knowing more about the extent of your original tumor and the current area that is showing up, you might look at some of the posts from people who have had induction chemo. Our understanding was that it would shrink the tumor and perhaps prevent distant metastisis. Perhaps this is sometimes used when someone has already received radiation and may be able to only have a limited amount of more radiation? Another poster had cyberknife the second time around which might be an option for you. He posts under Charm.


My thoughts are with you- Sophie
