When you get your consult at MDACC they may recomend a course of radiation to be sure that it has all been eliminated. Given the significant amount of surgery you have had to undergo, my guess is that a disease this progressed would warrent the radiation to ensure that everything was resolved completly, and you will not, 18 months from now, be going through all this again.
