It was my understanding that if there was nodal involvement, chemo and rads were the standard of care. My husband did not have any positive nodes so he only had rads. All the best with your next opinion.
David,
Clark's tumor was listed as T4N0Mx. The report said no distant metastasis. I assumed that was what the Mx meant.
