Tumor Board has decided to go with radiation, so no surgery. I'll be scheduling that this week and then off to Pittsburgh for one more round of god offal radiation. big worry is the skin over that spot as it has been exposed to every treatment and could end up burned beyond repair. We'll see.

In the mean time I will keep posting to let my family here know how I am doing.
