Letitia -
Thank you for adding to the information. Your answers generated more question in me, and I would like you to give me a call at the OCF offices. I still am concerned that a doctor chose a non curative treatment for someone that had an early cancer as the first go to thing. That just defies logic. Those sores that they are concerned about aggravating wouldn't be there, if they had picked radiation first, which is curative. Something isn't right about this and rather than type for great lengths here, if you wish please give me a call. I am in the office most of the next week, and in the Pacific time zone. The numbers are on the contact us link of the man web site.
I do not wish to do anything but make sure you are asking the right questions of the right people, and that her treatment is being managed by some kind of standards like those from the NCCN which are very specific, and drawn up by the top cancer centers in the US.
