Hello All,

My brother finised 2 chemos and 10 radiations and he went to hospital yesterday to get the 3rd chemo. The Medical Oncologist told us to finish the radiation first (All 30) then he will plan the remaining four chemos (plan is 6 chemos total)

Treatment details are at :

I called up the Doc yesterday to find out why, and he said my bother has severe mucositis and he would like to wait until my brother completes his radiation. My brother is compaling about some kind of sores in his mouth that are causing sever pain (mucositis i think). They are giving him some medication to take care of them

I am scared now. Will this effect his cure?

I though mucositis is a side effect of radiation, but looks like it is a chemo effect.

Please advice.
