Its sad about your mum and I'm sorry it didn't work out for her. But I assume she was seriously ill which is why she had the treatement? Would the result have been the same without it? In my mums case she's had cancer three times over the last 30 years. The first two were treated with chemo but the last time she couldnt stand the thought of 18 months of chemo at her age. So she opted for the radiation therepy over a 16 week period. She said that the benefit to see her grandchildren for a few more years made it all worthwhile. I'm afraid when it comes to cancer its a bit of a lottery if treatments work or not but the result is much more certain without it.
