Bill's chemo treatments have begun. Thanks to my brother, Ken, who is also getting chemo/radiation, I now know that the difference between the two.
Radiation is intended to attack the tumor itself, and treatments are done daily.
Chemo is done less frequently and is a "wash" through the body, intended to go after other, loose, cancer cells floating about the body.
Both interventions can be intense and exhausting.
