Have Nasopharyngeal Cancer, Squamous Cells Poorly Differentiated With Basaloid Features. Will Radiation Be Sufficient?
I have stage 1 nasophryngeal cancer, diagnosed 9/11. Squamous cell poorly differiantiated with basaloid features. It is my unserstanding that Radiation alone is often considered enough. The Rads Doc plans 33 weeks @ 200 for a total of 6600. The Chemo doc talked 10mg/m2 but I can read the RX, he ordered 30.1mg/m2. I m feeling hustled and possibly overmedicated. He said the chemo was to soften up any remaining cells so the Rads Doc could use less, but 200 is a medium dose, not small..
