Chemotherapy? How long does the process of Kemo? I mean how long does it take to go through it? And how many "meetings" are there ... as in the case they put the chemical substance in killing you?
Finally, do not always kill the cancer chemotherapy and the patient still survives? If this is not guaranteed, what are the survival rates after Kemo?
Chemotherapy depends on the type of cancer. I had cancer in 1982 and lasted 18 months, with a pattern of different drugs. It was every 3 weeks with an AB, AC model. Halfway through he went to AB, AD.
No, this is not always kill the cancer, or guaranteed survival. My treatment plan called for eight weeks of radiation as well.
Rates depend on the type of cancer as well. But, as my doctor said - do not worry too much about the rates - it will be 100% and 0% for me. :)
I lived, btw.
