For all that it is worth, I am also T2N1, treated at a good CCC (Johns Hopkins), and I will be also receiving rads only, no chemo. Not 100% sure, but pretty certain they also mentioned radiating one side of my neck only.

I will admit that it makes me nervous, especially when reading here that the more aggressive treatment should be pursued, but I am trying to let go and trust my medical team, otherwise I will go crazy.
