The appointment with the Radiation Oncologist lasted for 2 hours. An incredible amount of details were discussed at this appointment. It was almost mind-boggling really. Here is a quick rundown of those details.
As far as radiation goes, she will be getting conventional radiation. It will be the last step in this long process.
We also have a tentative game plan. After the appointment next Tuesday with the Medical Oncologist, this game plan will have the "finishing touches" added and everything can begin.
The plan is that she will get chemotherapy, most likely for 16 weeks. After the chemo will come surgery. What type of surgery it is will depend on how well the tumor responds to the chemo and how much it shrinks. Then, after the surgery, she will receive radiation therapy. This will be 6.5 weeks of daily, Monday through Friday treatments. Each treatment will last approximately 20 minutes.
