I will check with my RO but my impression is that those radioactive seeds did not do very well for my tumor location. Too many complications with the carotid arteries & nerve damage from some studies I've read. Dr Google is somewhat depressing as he keeps pulling up excerpts like this [quote]Tonsillar fossa cancer presents a clinical treatment dilemma, as there are neither prospective randomized trials nor site-specific retrospective analyses that clearly indicate a superior approach to this locally and regionally aggressive disease[/quote] Still it never hurts to ask and he would know.. He's pretty sharp. Thanks for reminding me not to dismiss anything, Charm
