I presume that Mike had IMRT? that would make a difference on whether they will do more radiation. It sounds to me like the original CCC did all of the right stuff, it's just that poorly differentiated tumors are much more difficult to treat - but not impossible, so don't give up hope. Charm and Christine are living proof of that.
