Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have prostate cancer. You have gone through surgery and radiation. Now you need chemotherapy. It depends on general condition of patient that he can tolerate chemotherapy or not. If you are otherwise ok then you should take chemotherapy. If you can not tolerate that then it can be stopped. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
