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,
