I have been reading some post about radiation and it seems that it is more painful and uncomfortable than chemotherapy. Based on what i heard which I will confirm this week, is that Joyce will get the maximum amount of radiation at the site of her new lesions/tumor. I wonder if the fact that surgery will not performed before radiation would that make the open lesion wound bigger? Was it right not to push for surgery first? Both oncologist and surgeon did not want to proceed with the surgery. What factors could have triggered that decision?

Thanks guys!!
