Chemo?

Last week we went down to see the team of doctors. First was the surgeon. He said everything looked great!  He had gotten 100% of tumor! Now we were off to see the Doctor that would do the Radiation. So far so good, but wait...   Radiation will take 6 to 7 weeks, every weekday for about 30 min. Risks are eye damage, blindness, brain damage, salivary gland damage, pituitary damage....   ug.  AND THEN he said, Oh and with your type of cancer I have spoken with my colleague, and we believe you should have Chemo with the radiation, you will meet with the chemotherapy doctor next.  Wait What? This is the very first time we had heard anything about chemo, we were certainly not prepared for that.  SO completely dazed we walked next door to the "other" doctors office.  We spend another couple of hours talking to her.  Seven PM we got in our car to drive the hour and a half home....    I asked Mr. X how he felt.  He said:  "Like I've been kicked in the nutz".  Funny thing was..... so did I.
