Title: Debulk and then Radiation?
Post by: arcteryx on June 23, 2006, 02:20:10 pm

I'm looking for input by people who have had debulking followed by radiation.  I guess this combination is becoming more popular now.  How long did doctors recommend waiting after surgery & before radiation?  Do titanium mesh & screws placed after surgery interfere with delivery of radiation?

Thanks!

hey arcteryx,

I thought Jane (jcinma) went through a debulk, then radiation but don't hold me to that... but... I thought she did.. had processes here in Boston. If you look at her sigline in her posts, I believe she notes it.
