The RO's opinions were split, several recommended Rads, several recommended monthly screenings and Rads only if something developed. You should push for earlier sessions with RO's, even if you need to go out of your network, get several opinions from top Cancer centers. As Christine points out, most people can tolerate Rads and recover well.
