    Best wishes for great outcomes
    Don't know if I'm right, but I'd guess he's getting rads five days in a row instead of once per week for five weeks. Were it me, I'd look forward to radiation as it does seem to bring help in shrinking tumors quickly.

    I'm rooting for you <3

    I did the radiation,and chemo for 5 days on,then 2 days off for 6 weeks,at the sametime.It worked very good at shrinking the tumor so they could get it all,so far.I had stomach cramps,and pain the last couple of weeks,and lost about 30 pounds.But I gained it all back plus some.Good luck.
