I was originally told surgery, plus 30 rad plus chemo. The surgery was so successful, no rads or chemo were done (I was given the choice to still do radiation as I was in the middle of whether they would recommend or not).

The consequences of radiation are so severe, that I declined the rad option, so my view would be the least rad, the better.
