Tony, just as a measure of support on the "no chemo", when I got my pathology with clear nodes, the RO said I had the option of doing radiation or not, but that there would be no chemo as it was being used as prevention (ie to hit any of the cells that may or may not be there but don't appear as a mass or anything they could see) not "treatment" per se, so I get the concept.

I trusted my team, so I was good with that advice.
