Just think in terms of the chemo being only the facilitator to the death of cancer cells allowing the big gun of radiation to truly kill them. There are a lot of survivors here who got the weekly chemo treatment and stayed healthy enough to finish the prescribed course of both rads and chemo.
It won't do a lot of good to do the three bag method if you are too sick to finish all treatments.
Wishing you strength during this really hard time,
Deb
