HI there... you've heard from some of the best here in terms of recurrence and your partner's type of cancer. I would very strongly suggest if you aren't at a top notch ccc get to one I know someone who has had 5 rounds of rad. Her cancer seems almost chronic, and she says her radiation oncologist always finds a way to give her more. I think she is at MD anderson. So getting as second opinion outside the local pool you have been seeing might be an option as Paul - I believe - did. Look into clinical trials. As long as there isn't distant mets I wouldn't give up.

welcome. Hope you find your miracle. hugs
