Hi Girlcat,

I have not a clue!! Good questions though. Have you asked your DR.?? Does not hurt to get 2nd op-ion.

I had surgery before all my Chemo and Radiation. So not sure if it makes a difference. I do know that there is scare tissue build up after radiation.

Take care and hope someone here can help you.
