Hi Barbara,

If Richard started chemo June 17 it has been a few weeks already. In my case, I had 3 cycles at 3 week interval before starting chemo-rads. My response was amazing. Within the first week of the first chemo treatment I could feel the node tumor shrinking. The second cycle it was nearly gone and by the third cycle was gone and the final scan said "near or complete response" which means the chemo was very effective.

So, by the time I was fitted with the mask, there were no such issues. don
