Nelie,

From what I've read in your posts, I think your tumor and mine were similar in a lot of respects, and the tumor board reviewing my case was quite definite about surgery first, then radiation if needed. While this was 16 years ago, I don't know that it would be any different today under the circumstances, and after all these years I've had no reason to second-guess that decision. In fact, I'd have to say, all things considered, that my QOL now is just about the best it has ever been.
