Cancer of unknown primary! what treatmens and how successful are they?

oncology handed down a verdict of stage four cancer. they know its cancer and where it is , but not what kind or where it started. The cancer so far doesn't seem to be in the organs but wide spread in soft tissue. Radiation treatments start this week and it will take two weeks for genetic testing to find out what kind it is. How can they determine that it is all the same type and if it will respond to treatment the same way.

@amdabrock1, I moved your question about cancer of unknown primary, treatments and how successful are they to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can click the link to read previous posts and connect with members like @maryannecrawford @mbkcanada @amyb5 @rita8898 @crusoe89 @umeshghimire @cindylb and many others who have experience wth cancers with unknown primaries.

Genetic testing will hopefully give your oncology team more information to choose treatment that will be the most effective.

What part of your body will they start radiation treatment on?
