Hi Vickie,

Actually, the radiation was much tougher on me than the chemo. I had 6 week chemo induction therapy: One treatment once a week. I finished the chemo therapy in early October 2003 and I finished radiation therapy at the end of November 2003. I am happy to say the numbness in my fingers from the Taxol has resolved and my hair has come back as well, although a little curlier and coarser. In terms of my response to the therapy, I responded quite well to the chemo with noticable shrinkage of my tumors before I moved onto radiation.
