My mom (67) was diagnosed in the summer of 2024. She went through some discoveries as her biopsies came back negative and started chemo in early 2025. She responded well and then in early 2026 she had surgery. We were hopeful, the pathology looked clean/ clean margins. But then she had a CT about 2 months ago and they say a lymph node that was compromised. Her CA 19 has been rising.
The oncologist removed her to a radiosurgery to treat the lymph node and she will be back or chemo in a couple of weeks.
She had her first session of radiosurgery and she is in pain. We were told she would not feel much in the first session perhaps just tired. But she is in pain. Does anyone have experience with radiosurgery and the side effects or other symptoms after?
Thanks
