Excuse me but I am so damn MAD!!!!!
I wish we would have gone somewhere besides the Marshfield Clinic. Two doctors told us radiation wasn't necessary, but I believe with Marcy only being 31 they should have been extra careful with her too!!
I am glad that you got more opinions and are getting radiation.
They told Marcy to get radiation 4 months after her surgery when the tumors in her neck were too huge to do anything else.
I am trying to move on some, but then I can't help but think the doctors were wrong so many times in Marcy's case. After her Radical neck dissection she went to the doctor numerous times complaining of headaches, never once did they give her a cervical xray, they told her it was stress and related to surgery. Three months later they told her it was on her spine and her skull! My poor little sister. She tried so hard, she should have been able to stay.
I sincerely wish you the best and with all the treatment you are getting you are bound to kick that cancer's a--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
