My boyfriend did injunctive chemo. He is 50 and very healthy. He was stage 4 but, it was only in one lymph and very defined. Was growing fast but, not spreading. We had planned originally on surgery but, after going around and researching everything, even a crazy asian/holistic medicine guy in Honolulu and meeting for pre-op with the surgeon, we determined that surgery didn't change his survival or treatment plan and would only postpone that actual treatment that much longer. Afer the 3 treatments of chemo, 1 week on 2 weeks off, he has a clean PET scan. Just starting radiation now to get all the micro cells and get it out! He tolerated the chemo pretty well I'd say. He had a few bad days after treatment was done but, was riding his bike 6 miles a day and playing tennis by the time treatment came around again. Everyone is different that's what I keep finding out. Ask every question you can think of. There are no dumb questions! Its your body and your life, do what feels right to you even when it's scary as hell!

Take care!
