Hi Everyone,
Jeff had his final radiation treatment yesterday (yay!) and we got a call from the hospital tonight saying his chemo doctor (whom we saw today) wants Jeff scheduled for a CAT scan this Friday!?! He also told us that in a month he wants to start him on 4 more months of chemo no matter what. Even if his scan is clear, just to be safe. We are stunned as we have understood that when radiation was finished chemo was too. Our understanding was that the chemo would make the radiation more effective. It seems like having a CAT scan on the 4th day after radiation would be asking for a false positive and has anybody had that much more chemo after concurrent radiation/chemo? Help!!
