Are Chemotherapy And Radiation Therapy Advisable After Recovering From Cancer?
my daughter is having her last chemotherapy for Hodgkins Lymphoma stage 2. She was not able to have her therapy last week because of her low blood count. She has had many problems with chemo. She has 4 young kids, recently divorced and working full time. Her pet scan shows that she s cancer free. yet her doctor wanted her to continue chemo (total of 8). Now he wants her to have radiation therapy. Is he over treating her?
