It seems to me that the wait and moniter option in your case is the least likely of preferred options. I would continue to seek a third opinion so you and your doctors can come to a more definate DX. My cancer was poorly differentiated and was invasive into surrounding tissues. I had IMRT and from what i've learned since I think I should have had field radiation. Easy to second guess after my recurrance in the same area. What ever you decide I wish you all the best and hope they can better define what you have. There seems to be alot of unanswered questions regarding your dx that scares me. Tough to make decisions when you don't know what you have.
