Warren,
Thanks for posting. I ultimately decided against radiation (actually it wasn't really a choice - not one doctor was willing to do it anyway) - but I agreed with them. I had my PET /CT at the beginning of April and that was negative - so a relief for now. I am on a 6 week schedule with my ENT / surgeon right now. I actaully have another appointment on Wednesday. Yes - if I have a recurrence - it will be treated in much the same way as you - they have all said if a recurrence happens - radiation will be given. They just didn't feel it good to do it right now given all the conditions of my case.
