Pam,

If you miss a date (bad weather) you can always make it up. One day here or there is not going to make that much of a difference.

I did Radiation only. I read here about those who did Rad and Chemo to make sure they did as much as possible and brought that to my ENT�s and RO's attention. "Shouldn�t we be as aggressive as the folks on the OCF?� I asked.

RO said he would have gone that route if my original tumor was invasive (it was minimally invasive) and or if it had metastasized to the nodes (CT was clear).

I think most here who had both BOT and nodal involvement had chemo too.

Anyone else want to comment?
