Thanks for the posts, Cathy and Danny Boy. The more I listen to people who have personal and upclose knowledge of this disease, the more I feel that radiation is a "no-brainer" decision. I am calling the RO when his office opens up this morning and setting up a "first consult" appointment. (The one I chickened out of, er, I mean put off 'til post-op). We will have a little heart to heart, and see what Dana Farber expertise has to offer.

You guys are the best, keep up the good fight!
Andrea
