hello marie's daughter i had 2 weeks of chemo with rad on tue of the weeks i had chemo it was cisplatin day, for me it did work great,they drew blood every day of chemo and once a week when i was just doing rad i am now 2 and a half years cancer free, it was no walk in the park but i have read alot of stories on here and to be honest i havent had half the problems most have,my taste buds came back quick and there is alot of food i would never eat that taste great now, the way it was explained to me about the dental work is it is better to get it all done before rad as afterwards it is harder on the one going thur it and more likey to get a infection because of the dry mouth, i do wish yall the best and remember the lord is always there to help all you have to do is ask, may god bless
