HI Nels,
Thank you for sharing the review of your surgery and radiation treatments. Every bit of information helps. I had the consultation with the radiologist today. He was up front with me and said without the radiation I had a 50% chance of recurrence and with the radiation I had a 15% chance of recurrence. He also mentioned chemotherapy. I can't help thinking about the post here from muddyb00ts and the way that ended up after radiation. I understand it can go either way and everyone is different in what they can tolerate and expect out of quality of life. He wants me to have a PET Scan and that is scheduled for Friday. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor that did my surgery on the 30th. I'm going to wait until I meet with my doctor and discuss with her before making any decisions. In the meantime, I'm going to search here for member's posts that decided not to do the radiation. I would like to hear both sides. I'll keep the group posted.
