Bob,
I don't think it is against board rules to name a facility. I know posting doctors names and numbers is frowned upon, but I for one would love to know which NYC center you were seen at. I keep hoping it was MSKCC. Was it? I have had radiation, lung surgery and am now undergoing chemo there so I may have some information for you. If you go for radiation you need to get moving. I think the general rule is 6 weeks pot-op and not more than 8 weeks.
