My wife who is 35 with stage 3 rectal cancer from 2006 has had the first reoccurence in Jan 08, after xeloda and 28 radiation therapy the radiation oncologist wants to talk about placing radiation seeds into that area. Has anyone heard of or going through this?
Hi,
So sorry to hear about your wife. My husband had this treatment for Cholangiocarcinoma and colon cancer. It worked very well! he was only given 18 months to live and that was in 2005!
It is a very easy procedure and it puts the radiation exactly on the cancer site. I highly reccomend it. Good luck to you both.
