My husband was offered the option of getting his chemo in weekly increments or in 3 doses (1st week, 4th week and 7th week) with radiation. Additionally, he was offered to get a jump start on his chemo 2 weeks before radiation.

We're questioning if this is the right thing to do by jump-starting treatments before radiation begins. We can't seem to find information on how chemo is given and the overall outcome and adverse reactions to either/or.

Thank you for your help.


Husband Dx 4/06, Stg IVa, T1N2aM0, primary lft tonsil, treatments to begin 5/28/06.
