Kevin's nodes dissolved during the chemo only phase of tx. By the end of the 6 weeks they were all back to normal. He had many involved, but did not have any surgery. The rt and chemo, we hope, finished them off!! You can see by our signature we aren't far out of tx. It really does get better rather quickly. It just doesn't feel like it the first few months. There will always be residuals though, I'm sure.
How did your appts go this month?
