Bob,

I'm also puzzled by the notion that 6 weeks of radiation is not enough! I can't tell from your latest message whether the doctors you spoke with in both cases were speaking on behalf of an entire team that had weighed the pros and cons of surgery/radiation/chemo. (Of course, when you have the rest of the pathology reports, that may also have a further effect on the recommendations you're getting.)

At this stage, I think it's very important to be sure you have the full, multidisciplinary input from the hospitals you're dealing with.
