Sorry about your situation. I am the friend ChristineB spoke of. I had surgery, chemo, rads and brachytherapy as this was my third re-occurrance. I wish I could have been more aggressive the first time, now looking back on it.
As she states, "hit it with everything you can" and get second opinions if you are not comfortable.
Best to you!
