Hi everyone.

My mom met with her oncologist today and they discussed her upcoming chemoradiation treatment and she had her mask done.
The oncologist told her she will get 35 RAD sessions over the span of 7 weeks and will also be getting chemo in two doses starting from week 3 and then once more on week 6.

From the literature I've read this doesn't seem standard to me? We were expecting that she'd get three big cisplatin doses starting from week 1. Also if she's only getting two doses wouldn't it make more sense to get them on week 1 and week 3 when it's easier to handle because the radiation damage isn't in full swing yet. I told her to ask what exact chemical they'll give her and why the 2 doses.

I was wondering if any of you guys maybe have some knowledge or experience on this, thanks in advance.
