John,

I too, was T1N0M0, and my doctor did not recommend radiation. I did have a CT w/contrast prior to surgery, all nodes removed at levels 2 and 3, a total of 23 and all were clear. My case was presented to the Tumor Board and radiation was not recommended.

I just had my one year check and had repeat CT w/contrast, chest xray and labs... all were great. After a year of reading this board, this topic tends to make me uneasy. Maybe that's why I am had my strange dream... see thread "Humor". All I know is I am feeling great, reports are great, and maybe I am reading this board too much!

Take in all the information, talk to your doctors, get a second or third opinion and make your decision.

Good luck to you!
Sincerely,
Lisa smile
