And don't tell that to all of the other stage III/IV survivors here that also had just radiation (and chemo). Maybe it wasn't strong enough to kill the cancer but it damn near killed me.
I am more than a little confused by doc #2's remarks. Don't tell me he was a surgeon?!? Did a tumor board at each facility make the recommendation?
