Good simple question. Difficult answer. Have you had a CT scan? Metastasis? Pathology report? There is much more that needs to be known before you can make any dicision regarding chemo, surgery or radiation. My best advice is get to a CCC (comprehensive cancer center) ASAP. Make sure they have IMRT radiation equipment.
Not sure of your age or background, but if caught early enough, like mine, it can be beat.
