Our team at MD Anderson was never able to give a consensus opinion. But we travelled to two other well known cancer centers to get other opinions. At the end of the day (and over 4000 miles of travel), the overall opinion is to radiate. Despite the risks of radiation (and because this cancer at 24 is just so incredibly aggressive), we feel radiation is the best thing for Camille.
She had her first treatment this afternoon (7/7/09). We are gearing up for a long six weeks, but definitely feel like its the best thing.
Shay, we will be thinking about you this week as you get more information about whats going on.
