Question : Chemotherapy?
How long is the process of kemo? I mean how long does a person have to go through it? And how many “sessions” are there…as in where they put the chemical killing substance in you?

Lastly, does chemotherapy ALWAYS kill the cancer and ALWAYS the patient survives? If it’s not guarenteed, what are the survival rates after kemo?
(chemotherapy)

Best answer:

The chemotherapy regimen is dependent on the type of cancer. I had cancer back in 1982, and it lasted 18 months with a pattern of different drugs. It was every 3 weeks, with an AB, AC pattern. Halfway through it went to AB, AD.

No, it doesn’t always kill the cancer, nor is survival guaranteed. My treatment plan called for 8 weeks of radiation as well.

The rates are dependent on the cancer as well. But, as my doctor had said – don’t worry too much about the rates – it will be 100% or 0% for me. :)

I lived, btw.
