Treatment for an 87 year old mom

[donocco]

I checked google ( topic- radiation for an 87 year old woman with cancer) and got results.
It seems radiation is beneficial and tolerable. One group of mixed patients (male and female)
total number 177 patients, received radiation, some palliative some for curative purposes.
80% of the patients took the full course of radiation. About 36% had the full course but had to take therapy breaks. The overall impression I got was that radiation was beneficial
in holding back the disease.
