Thanks Cheryl for the details regarding rad and chemo. I meet a radiation oncologist at OHSU on 5/25 and now have additional questions to ask him. Problem is my surgeon is at UW in Seattle and does not appear to have good oncologist connections in Portland where I am located, so I am having to do much of the legwork myself. Any input on the kind of questions to ask would be greatly appreciated.

Also on a different note, I tend to have this low-grade fever (nothing high about 99.5F or so)each night after I have returned home on 5/11 from the hospital. I sweat a little as a result of the temperature. Weird thing is this elevated temperature comes about either in the late evening or the night. Some say it is due to the surgery. Others say it may be the body's reaction to the cancer in me. My PCP says not to worry until it exceed 100.5F. Any thoughts regarding this greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance for your responses.
