I only wish I had surgery first because I was not able to do the real curative treatment, besides surgery, which was radiation, with chemo as a radiosensitizer, chemoradiation, and had 4 recurrences since. I made a mistake, who knew, of having induction chemo, which resulted in a severe, almost deadly reaction to it, and rest of my treatments were suspended. If I had chemoradiation, initially, with with success, I would probally be happy without surgery lol.
