Hi Cheryl, yes. Radiation and chemo have been suggested as the "gold standard" using the term of one oncologist. It seems that most cancer survivors and docs alike favor radiation I guess because they are more familiar with it. Is that fair to say?
Still, I seem to be leaning toward robotics, followed by radiation and maybe chemo as well.
In any case, as serious as such as this "is"; nonetheless, it has been quite an adventure.

DX in 12/2010. Stage 4 SCC HPV+ BOT swollen lymph. I've spent the past 3 years away from medical treatments. Instead I've focused on good nutrition, active exercise, singing, laughing, oral exercises and such. I've had neither pain nor discomfort. But I haven't been able to kill the cancer. So, I'm now considering robotic surgery and/or radiation.
