Radiotherapy Yes or no

My wife has just had an operation to remove cancer from her cheek and jaw, which was a total success. But she has now been told that she needs 6 weeks 5 times a week of radiotherapy? 
the possible side effects are dreadful and she has decided not to have it? Any thoughts

  • Hi,

    My husband had 4 weeks of radiotherapy and I'm pretty sure he wishes now that he hadn't accepted the treatment. Some people have very few problems but for others the side effects are devastating. There is no right or wrong, its a very personal decision for the person with cancer. Id say support her decision either way, and enjoy your your lives as much as you can.
