How long does it take the chemo to start working ?
Should you show improvement on the first treatment ?
Are you given a scan after every treatment to see
if the chemo and radiation are working ?
Will a scan show that the cancer is gone from the lymph nodes ?
It al depends on what stage your cancer is in and what sort of chemo you are having. Your oncologist will be able to answer all your questions specific to your condition
All the best

In general, chemo can work almost immediately depending on the type of cancer, grade, and stage.
Scans are given every 6 – 8 weeks to measure the progress.
A PET scan can detect ‘hot spots’ associated with cancer in the body.
