that is odd that they didn't irradiate adjoining lymph nodes while they were at it. They did to me and I didn't have any lymph node involvement (being a T3N0M0). The rad onc said she was targeting a whole bunch of places (she was the best - rated top IMRT radiation oncologist in the US). You sure sound like a good candidate for PBT (Proton Beam Therapy). have you investigated that?
Congratulations on being back at work.
