Yesterday I met with the Rad-Onc concerning re-radiation because of some very tiny margins from the surgery. It was really a relief to know that it is not possible in my case. The cancer is too diffuse and because of the virtual lack of response with the "lifetime" dose I had over the summer it would be too damaging for the remaining structures.
The surgery has pretty well peeled me back to basic structures with all superficial vessels gone, we don't want to blow up the internal ones.
So with my 1mm. margin at the base of the skull we basically sit back and wait for a)victory, or b) another recurrence with probable chemo.
It will be good to have some time when there is no assault on my body...except for the physio, but that always feels better when she's done!
In the meantime, I'll keep visiting the boards and drawing lots of good info and inspiration from all of you.
