Honestly!!!
If this is aggressive the next line of defense is rads and chemo. Likely no chemo - a friend who used to be on here all the time. She had a small - I mean VERY SMALL - tumor. Dr had a feeling it was aggressive. So he did the neck dissection and found a node, then sent her for chemo and rads. She's fine now.
I just don't understand the mind set of some drs.
