Lee treated at Univ of Pennsylvania. We also got 2nd opinion at Sloan who concurred with surgery(Lee had Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1996) so couldn't have enough rad alone without surgery. He will start swallowing Tx in a few weeks so we're hopeful...docs said if he can learn to swallow liquids(solids never possible) trach can come out! He hates that thing so much! Good luck to you I will be thinking of you.
