If I remember correctly, isn't it possible surgery can remove all the cancer (providing it is). I had several Lymph nodes light up n im no Dr. Forgive me but dont Docs safely remove the nodes. I think so.
In any event, let's hope docs fix it all with just surgery. Besides if he ends up needing RADS maybe after surgery it won't be as intense as mine. I did NOT do surgery 1st....so that might be a game changer to his benefit. Good luck , hon. 😉
