For what it is worth, I think you are doing EXACTLY the RIGHT thing here. With a T 1 tumor, zero lymph node involvement and zero spreading (based on your signature), Radiation should indeed do the trick. What is significant is that your MO is saying this, as many RO's feel it is the radiation which does the heavy lifting and they discount chemo. (My RO however urged me to get chemo also) For an MO to say chemo is probably not needed, she must be pretty confident in her prognosis. But I would still ask your RO and ENT.
