Chemotherapy and Radiation for Cancer Treatment

A regimen of chemotherapy and radiation treatment is a severe test of both physical and emotional endurance. In this program from The Doctor Is In, people with breast, lung, prostate, and ovarian cancer and Hodgkin’s disease describe the treatments—what they are like, how they incorporate them into their daily routines, and how they deal with the side-effects—and the emotional ups and downs that accompany them. Information is also provided on new treatments that are extending the life expectancies of lung cancer patients. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Production. (29 minutes)
