Questions about Radiation
I asked Hema's Onc if radiation will help with the mets in her spine.He informed us that it will have to be localised and can be done onley once and no repeat radiation is advisable.He said it is better to go on with Tykerb and Zoletrust(Zometa).What is the position of radiation therapy.Will be glad for some info,Thanks in advance
