For four weeks in Novemebr of 2001, I had radiation 5 days a week. Because I did as they said, and didn't move during the treatments, I never got burned, and the treatment worked.

DH had radiation 5 days a week, for 5 1/2 weeks - the tumor disintegrated. He had chemo four of those five weeks also. He did not lose his hair, no mouth sores, DROVE himself four days of the week, no diarrea(sp?), no vomiting.....he did amazingly well thru this.

My husband went through chemo and radiation.The radiation burned his neck it was black.Eight weeks for both of them,and he is going to go through it again.He has already had his vocal cords removed and his glands. the cancer has moved down going to his lungs.
