why is the prognosis so poor if only half a treatment? without radiation they told us that he has a 30% chance of a reoccurance with 30 radiation treatments they said he has a 5% chance. If only 15 treatments are his chances now 20%? the radiologist said that if he quits now he may as well have not done it at all. we are very distraught over this and my dad is beyond his pain tollerance. the pain meds have been weak up til now but they wrote him a new one today. he's just so ready to be done and to be able to live a little. his mental state is very low and his physical is even lower. it almost seems not worth it but maybe a year from now we would think different if he's doing well or maybe a year from now we will regret not finishing if it returns again. how bad can this really get?
