Hi @nasagia36, if I read your past messages correctly, your dad had chemo before surgery to help shrink the tumor, and then last month he had surgery, a Irreversible Electroporation (IRE). Your question is when will he start chemo post surgery, correct?

Has the medical oncologist not discussed the treatment plan with him? Might the start date be affected by COVID-19? What have you heard?
