I am so glad I came across your post. We just had a consult/2nd opinion with Sloan a few days ago. They believe my husband is a candidate for the clinical trial (no surgery, 30 gr, 2 chemo) Our 1st consult was at Columbia. He recommends surgery. Might not need any radiation after. We are at a crossroad here. The Sloan treatment with the 30g is less then a year out which makes us nervous. Have you had other opinions outside of Sloan?
