Tony - a second opinion is certainly a good thing to do and even a third opinion. When my son's cancer team got together, they felt that radiation would be the way to go in his case. They felt that radiation was an added way of insuring that the cancer would not come back and I'm really glad my son decided to go with it. He did have a very rough time of it tho' as many on this site have. But I have read several survivors who just breezed right thru it! A positive attitude certainly helps, too.
