Hi Connie,

Thanks for following up on my post.

[quote=ConnieFL]Venkat..sorry you have to go through all of this. Your signature reads similar to mine, but I didn't have the radiation or chemo.[/quote]

You are very lucky to have escaped these draconian treatments.

[quote=ConnieFL]If you didn't have mets in the lymphnodes what was the reason your Doctor ordered Radiation and Chemo, I don't understand?[/quote]

Yes, that was the initial expectation from me and my family...that post surgery all is well. But sadly my surgeon after discussing in tumor board decided to go for preventive radiation therapy. The reason doctor stated...[quote]You are too young for this disease and being an individual with no bad habits like smoking, alcohol, may be I am genetically predisposed for this. So they want to make sure any microscopic level residue cancer if at all to be cleared.[/quote]All on the basis of probability, but no evidence. This really freaked me out. I didn't have a big say on post surgery treatment and so here I am in the world of radiation.

Thanks
Venkat
