I've seen oncologist today and will start chemo next week hopefully , my only concern is he said only 5% of patients benefit from chemo and I will also have radiotherapy afterwards.He mentioned P53 positive ?
P53 positive means that there has been a gene mutation on the surface of the original tumor. I was advised it was best to have chemo for this. I did not require radiotherapy but I had 3 sessions of Brachytherapy.
Unfortunately my own experience of chemo was a very rare reaction and I only had one session.
The histology will show if any difference to what was identified on the scans. Best to ask your CNS or consultant to explain it to you. This is also when they decide what treatment they think is best for you.
