I am unsure of the situation you are referring to if you are posting for yourself or on behalf of someone, what type of cancer it is you are referring to and what type of treatment.
The doctors will look at each person's situation and weigh up the benefits of treatment against any potential side effects. If this is for yourself, your cancer specialist or nurse specialist (CNS), would be the best person to clarify your situation with as they will know your situation.
Please get back to us with more information and we may be able to help you further. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
