I am really worried about her, as she has got so thin I wonder how the rdiotherpy will affect her. I think that the hospital will be  giving her radiotherpy to her right lung (bottom) where tumour is andchest wall where it has mets to. She is going to have it twice a week for 3 weeks. We then have to consider if chemo is necessary.It is so hard seeing the peson you love suffer in such a way.I can't really speak to my family about the indepth treatment as the are devasted tooi sometimes find it really hard..... sloughj Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT
