        My son had radiation and it was not too bad, he was just tired and dryness of skin and flaking (under his arm)

         

        I agree with the person above and go with the Ipi trial

        my son did a year of interfern and a month after he stopped his pet scan showed 3 more spots plus a small 2m in his brain

        he did 4 weeks of total brain radiation and just finished his 2nd dose of Ipi, side effects not too bad yet.
