Jam,

He is being treated at Moffitt Cancer center in Tampa, FL.

Is there a limit to amount of Radiation one can have. See many people her who had reoccurence or another site and recieved not just more or different Chemo but mor radiation as well. Is there a time fram between. I would just think if they do have to do surgery then they would want to radiate to ensure any live cancers cells that could be disrupted so not spread...

What is the risk of spreading when surgery is involved?
