I think I would want to speak to DR directly as well ... and maybe even speak to someone on the tumor board so that you could voice your concerns and fears and have them explain the decision to you . I did not have Rad , I also did not have a Node pOsitive for cancer ... And I still question that decision often .

So I don't think wanting to speak directly to the Dr is anything unreasonable !!

Good luck and please let us know how you make out !
