heh. Actually it looks like "adjuvant radiation *optional*" is the treatment protocol in my case, and even for when there is one lymph node involved (I had none). Except that my pathology report from the first excision did mention some possible indication of perineural involvement (but not "invasion". I'm glad DF got sent the pathology slides.)
Gary, does "RO" mean the protocol? If so, I don't know what it is at Dana Farber. Obviously there isn't one protocol for what to do in a case like this at Roswell Park. What I really want to know, if Dana Farber recommends it, is *why*. Beyond whether it is their protocol.
