No, they wanted to do 6 weeks of radiation, but to be honest, I just can't do it. The surgery, trachea, the pain, all that was enough for me. My quality of life is more important. 41 lymph nodes removed, all negative. Close margin on one side, but I feel OK about it. So I am wondering, just from the surgery, how long to be fairly normal again? Or will I ever be fairly normal?
