Although, very skeptical of posting this; I too, got the same recommendation as Gino from the James Cancer Hospital at OSU- no radiation. According to our doctors, it turns out - the risks are more harm than good in someone in their 20's and 30's for long term side effects and the possibilities of bone necrosis and other things including developing a new cancer caused BY the radiation.

Gino and I have been in constant communication over this issue the past week or so, and I think we are both comfortable with this decision. Although, risk of recurrence is low, and let's hope it doesn't happen, if it does - I'd hope no one would ever say "I told you so", b/c truth is, no one can ever say for certainty that anything will or won't happen in the future.

If I've learned one thing the past two months - it's that cancer has no certainties or guarantees for anyone. There is nothing that is 100% proven for every case or person, as every case is different, requiring every treatment plan to vary from one to the next.
