Hi everyone,
This is my 1st post though I have read a lot of info here in the past couple of months.
My question is about a break in radiation. My husband, Jeff, had completed 26 of 40 scheduled IMRT treatments last weds, when the doctor told him he needed a break to allow some of his severe burns to heal. They told us they'd try again Monday. The doctors decided there wasn't enough improvement and will resume radiation on Monday, April 1st. (They have also suspended chemo for the time being.) I am concerned that such a long break will allow the cancer to regrow. Anybody have a similar experience? Am I concerned for nothing? Jeff is having a really tough time right now (me too)
Thanks for your help.
Laurie
