Wow....great info all of you. Heartfelt thanks. Cheryl, his is a small lesion only visible by scope. I initially thought of course do surgery first & then zap it with the rads, but after reading all your responses, my mind is more opened.

Also, want all of you to know how much just posting once (so far) has made us both feel, for lack of a better word, better. Thanks!!!
