I sent you an email on this as well....
DX at 23. My DR found 1 mm of cancer in 1 of 37 nodea after neck dissection. Clear margins. He didn't reccomend radiation since there didn't seem to be much spreading and stated that since I was so young and there is a likelyhood that it may reoccur, he did not want to omit the option of radiation later on. I am now facing my 6 month PET scans and there was some things that were worrisome. I may now be going through further treatments. I say hit it head on early!
