Nothing crossed the midline but the RO created a plan to paint both sides. I asked why if only tumors on one side. He said better safe than sorry and to be more aggressive. All my doctors, the MO, ENT Surgeon, and RO are of the be aggressive philosophy which was just fine with me. Too many people come back with recurrence. I sleep well knowing everything possible was thrown at it so never any second guessing on what else could have been done to avoid any recurrence.
You will be fine - Good luck, Don
