Hi Anne,
I like my surgeon very much, but will probably still get a second opinion anyway just to feel more sure about things. He doesn't think I need radiation but he does plan to send me to a radiation oncologist for a consult. I am afraid of the long term effects, but think it might be a good idea to be safe. I guess I'll wait to see what the radiation oncologist says about that. I would be very interested to see the links you mentioned.
Thank you very much,
Tracy
