No more chemo
To make long story short my Oncologist said no more chemo would be too dangerous for me.
He said MRI and CT showed no other involvement so radiation would be enough treatment.
I start radiation again today for 4 weeks. along with blood tests twice a week.
My first thought when able to think was what I had seen discussed here about the DPD enzyme I plan on asking for this test to be done more for my own peace of mind.
Cali.

Hi Cali
I'm so sorry to hear this! That must have been very scary. I think you are on the right track about the DPD enzyme and I hope your doctor will agree to the testing so you can find out if this was the cause. Hopefully, the rest of your treatment will be uneventful, other than the usual side effects. Please keep us posted. Hang in there for the next 4 weeks. I wish you all the best0 -

Thank you for your kind reply.
it was scary the side effects are still hanging around.
Looking forward to starting and finishing radiation even with the side effects, so much better than what could have happened.
