Amen Brett,
Just my opinion, but if I had the choice between Chemo and Radiation. I'd take chemo. Gary phrased it well, too.
I don't say this to mean you should do one instead of the other. I say it to make the point that chemo sometimes is not as bad as people make it out to be.
I wish I'd had chemo/radiation as my protocol. Like radiation, everyone has different reactions to chemo and to the different forms of chemo.
But, as has been said before by Joanna " I want every weapon in the arsenal they can give me to fight with"
Take care and I know you'll make the right choice for yourself.
