Hi Guys/Gals.........Ok, this has always puzzled me. I understand that the use of RAD and Chemo is sometimes used to shrink the tumor so that it is more operable, and that makes sense to me. What I don't understand is why the Doctors sometimes refuse to do surgery after RAD when clearly it CAN be done, but perhaps with some risk. So, is it all about the risk factor? Not sure if I am quite able to articulate the right question, but do you catch my drift---or maybe my question is just a silly one. Brian, can you help?? Sincerely, Donna
