Welcome to OCF,

Your questions are what most people ask when learning they have cancer. Different treatments and combinations are used by doctors to treat cancer. There are guidelines but they are not cast in cement and there are characteristics unique to your case that places the recommendation in their hands.

Two different doctors looking at the same facts may prescribe different courses of treatment. You need to have trust in who you are being treated by and should seek a second opinion if not totally sure.

You may want to start a new thread in the introduce yourself section and also place more details about your situation in the signature block.
