Overkill? maybe... but I've seen the outcome turn bad when people second guess their drs, or go for a lesser treatment.
We are all individuals. We all respond differently. Some people have a cancer that no matter what they do will kill them. But for the most part, the best results I've seen have come from hitting it between the eyes with everything they offer.
