I have my second round of chemo today. (XALODA, TAXOTERE). I will have CT scan schedule after this round on Mar.10 to see if this working. By the way I have a liver mets.
So, I've asked my onco if I will have a rads after chemo and he said he don't know yet, maybe not likely since they took all the lymph nodes 16 positive out of 18.
I really thought that I will getting rads as well as my surgeon said so.

Please anybody had this before?? Need info.
I am from the Philippines but living in SC for 34 yrs.

Thank you and God Bless everyone.

    Welcome, Nina
    You didn't mention what kind of surgery you had or will have -- lumpectomy, mastectomy? Please let us know.

    Just wanted to welcome you to the site. Your ocologist is the one who usually determines what kind of treatment you will receive, chemo, RADS, etc. The surgeon may provide some input but the oncologist has the final say.

    Hope this helps.
