Hello guys,

My mother-in-law is done with her chemotherapy - 3 once a month. It was confirmed that she has stage 4 oral cancer since the cancer spread to her jaw bones. My mother-in-law will NOT be having radiation treatments since her body is too weak to even survive it. They are considering another 3 chemo treatments then that would be the last she will get.

The question to you guys is: If there is no radiation what are they trying to accomplish? Does it mean that she will deteriorate in time? Does it mean her cancer will reoccur can reoccur?

Thanks
