Not all of us suffer from some of the side effects of treatment. I had 33 IMRT radiation treatments with NO side effects. I often wondered if the machine was actualy on? When was the hammer going to fall? It never did!!
If she does suffer some of them she can overcome them the same as many members of this forum.
Some people don't want to know what they have, treatment options etc. I have two older sisters who survived brest cancer. neither of them could tell me what kind of cancer they had or what chemo drugs they received. Kind of like putting the blinders on and hoping the doc knows best.
I could never understand that but then again theres alot I don't understand!!
