After initial 4 rounds of chemotherapy scans show a significant reduction in the size of the tumour, which is good news since diagnosis. Oncologist mentioned radiotherapy but it’s unclear what they meant on whether this is now a treatment option or whether it’s just a control method if new growth is detected?
What I would like to know is that is it likely that if the tumour continues to shrink that radiotherapy could then be used to get rid of it? Or is that not the aim of radiotherapy or treatment? I’ve been informed that there is no cure, and only management, however given the response to chemotherapy, would this change? Is there a set protocol for this scenario?
Thank you
