Hi, when first diagnosed in 1998 I had what was called a "sandwhich therapy" it was AC rads CMF, it was explained to me that the first round of chemo gets rid of the cancer cells floating in the blood stream, the radiation gets rid of the cells in the tissue from the surgery and the third mops up what is left. I have had over 100 doses of radiaton for various lymph gland involvement and it has been successful, unfortunately I have been chasing the disease non stop since then. I have to agree with the philosophy because each sector I had radiated did the job and then another lymp would come up in the next sector, so maybe radiation should be give at the same time as chemo so it is double dosed.
Love & Hugs Lyn.
