Dear Karyn

I would put that question to your docs - could they tell you why rad may not be necessary. Tell them you are puzzled.

Sometimes docs forget to tell us what may seem obvious to them while we are getting quietly anxious!

I have learned that the same cancer varies greatly from patient to patient. Your group of docs have assessed your individual case and used their expertise to recommend a treatment regime. Only problem is they haven't communicated well with you.

At the beginning of my journey my gp reminded me that I was in charge of my disease and treatment. Get on to your principal doc and either make an appt or have a long phone call.

I wish you all the best for your treatment, love from Helen
