Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 235 | As of today, my Mom's chemoradiotherapy is complete. I hope this is forever. The doc did, however, mention that a neck dissection may be necessary. Until that time, I am breathing a happy sigh of relief.
47 IMRT treatments
5-FU
Hydroxyurea
Taxol
Carboplatin
Four months of this stuff and it's finally over.
I may actually get a decent night of sleep tonight.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend. My prayers are with you.
