Sarah, that's not uncommon when her counts are so compromised. To continue could do more harm than good and it's important to finish the radiation. I remember the MO told us that Jack needed to get at least 2 chemo treatments, and if he could tolerate the remaining 2 that would be ideal but that it was not always possible. I got the impression that getting the first 2 of the chemo was the boost they wanted to boost the radiaiton. His counts came back up when he was hospitalized but that's the only reason they were able to continue. What they're saying does make sense.
