Thank you everyone for your messages and for sharing your experiences. I met with the radiation oncologist on Friday and he was comfortable with radiating both sides (he said the Tumor Board was on the fence about that one as well). Additionally, I will be meeting with the medical oncologist on Friday as I believe that I am going to opt for both radiation and chemo. Like many others before me, I want to zap this clean the first time so I can enjoy a nice long life with my family:)
