The Treatment Plan

This is the current treatment plan, as proposed by Duke:
  • 5-6 weeks of daily chemo (oral) and outpatient radiation to reduce the size of the tumor.  This started 12/26, and does not include weekends or holidays.
  • Weekly blood tests and consultation w/Oncologist.
  • 4-5 weeks of recovery.
  • MRI, CT scan, and blood tests to determine if the radiation changed anything.
  • Surgical removal of the tumor.
  • 8-10 weeks of recovery
  • 4 months of chemo to mop up any leftover cancer junk.
