Thanks, Steve,
Since i posted, I have come to realize that the node removal surgery at Yale with brachytherapy seeds (followed by 30 radiation treatment and once a week chemo) is way outdated. A local oncologist friend we met with for a second opinion would do just what your protocol was, to the letter. We are trying this week to get a third opinion, possibly at Johns Hopkins.
You have been a big help. Dennis and i are inspired by you. Stay Well.
