Anyone doing Chemoradiation?

My scans showed no evidence of disease (NED), which is always the result we hope to get. The ureter cancer was treated with four courses of chemotherapy (Cisplatin & Gemcitabine), it was supposed to be 6 courses, but my reactions wouldn’t allow for the last two courses. After recovering for a month, I had 28 radiation treatments. I am stage IV metastatic, in palliative care, so our hope is for time. I am still having pelvic floor physical therapy for the damage caused by radiation. I feel very optimistic about my recovery. Hopefully these results will last longer than the first treatment.
How are you doing? Did you decide to go forward with chemoradiotherapy?

i am taking step forward for chemoradiation, but i am still keeping the door open for proton radiation instead. i will probably know more after meeting with dr from proton center tomorrow. fingers crossed i get accepted to get proton instead of standard radiation.
