Mark,

Thank you for your reply. I did not know hyperthermia was a rather new treatment, not probably available here in the US. I just feel so overwhelmed trying to learn everything at once. Thank you for your suggestions. I am asking survivors to learn from their experiences. I know it is not a substitute for medical opinion but I do know that you can learn a whole lot more from people who have gone through it, than from a textbook. My mom is going to start radiation and has a surgery scheduled for next month. Can I please ask what to expect from the side effects?? DO you know what she could expect and me, as a family member so I can be prepared? Thanks again and I am so happy to hear that you are surviving this cancer.

God Bless you
Stephany
