Not everyone Tony,
Again it's just one those things. Your team will monitor all of your side effects closely & you should make them aware of everything you're feeling so they can tweak your treatment accordingly.
Statisticly, chemo & R/T together increases the sensitivity of cancer cells and the 2 prong approach is more common than just using one or another. I'm sure i've read it improves 5yr survival rates. But i reliterate - WE ARE NOT A STATISTIC. & a little knowledge can be dangerous! & techniqueshave come on leaps and bounds from the 5 years ago - where these statistics are taken.
Take each obstacle as it comes & take it for what it is Tony.
All the best,
Michelle
