[salakot]

My husband Oncologist told us yesterday that his been responding very well to the treatment of not many patients can tolerate on that extense treatment. Base on the X-ray from the start and after treatment the cancer Deminished. Even though my husband still suffering from the side effects, two weeks from now he is going to have a Brain Radiotheraphy to make sure the cancer would not spread to the brain. I'm not sure about this Brain Radiotheraphy but he decided to go ahead with it, Hoping he will cope all th side effects.
