Welcome, but sorry you have to be here. As far as what to do, if you trust your Dr., go with what he/she says. Hopefully you have someone that is experienced with this type of cancer. If they say do the radiation, don't doubt them. This is your life and if down the road something happens, you will kick yourself for not going all out the first time.
There is a wealth of knowledge, experience and support in these forums. Keep in touch.
