It must be very difficult for you too. Im sorry but I do not know about the sizes. I do know everyone is different and will experience medications and treatments in their own unique way. It could turn out to be the opposite of what you are expecting. Someone who has a large tumor may have an easy time of it, another person with a tumor 1/2 that size could end up struggling, you just never know. A second opinion would be a good idea. Best of luck to you and your mother with everything!
