Nelie,

I apologize for getting back to you so late. I just had those few minutes this week to pop on and send you the private messages.

I, like Cathy, had my tumor excised with clean margins. Yes, rads can be used to shrink tumors before using other treatments. It's also used, as in my case, to get any cancer "dust" as the docs referred to it.

I hope this helps.

Sabrina
