Keep going until you get the answers you need. You sound very well informed and have a clear plan of action. I'm impressed!! I had radiation a 2nd time - but it was to the other side of my neck and mouth. I'm not a physician, but I do not understand the argument against re-radiation if it offers any hope at all. When I was diagnosed with a recurrance I told them "hit me with your best shot! Good luck.
