@stellacammarano, you mentioned in another discussion that son was diagnosed with peripheral nerve sheath cancer just a few weeks ago. While he had successful surgery and his CT and MRI scans are clear, you have been getting contradictory information.

Can you explain more about the contradictory information you or your son is getting? What questions do you have?

Hi there.
His oncologist put forward a treatment plan of 6 weeks of radiation 10 minutes a day 5 days a week... followed by 1 month rest then 3 days of chemo every 3 weeks for 6 rounds. It seemed a lot since his CT and mri were clean. I got a second opinion and this oncologist said only radiation and then a third on oncologist said nothing works for this type of cancer so no further treatment. Its so confusing.
