Hello Everyone,
I have a question. The radiation oncologist for my mother with gum cancer that spread to her jaw bone has now told her that IN ADDITION to seven weeks of daily radiation, he wants her to undergo chemotherapy at the same time. He told her that it helps with the radiation.
Has anyone had experience with that?? It seems to me that this much treatment at the same time would cause more harm than good.
I hope you all are doing well and was wondering if someone could help me with this. Thanks again. I love ya all
