There are a number of radiation options so don't rule that out. I had radiation 2nd time, and Jim has had the radiation seed implants which might be an option. Your donor site for the graft will likely be the front of your thigh. Mine healed very well and a year post graft it is a discoloured that people would look at and wonder what happened - but no horrid winding road scars (ya gotta look good in shorts eh?)

I know what you mean about having it identified. There is a sense of "relief" that it has been caught - obviously early - and that you weren't just going crazy. There is something about identifying the problem and taking action that is calming.

You will do great through this. As Tom R. will tell you - lots of new options and the other day someone posted something about a "cyberknife". I don't know what that is, but I know when I was diagnosed last time the lazer doctor was in on the consultation as lazer surgery was being considered.

Sounds like things are moving at a good speed and catching it early is so important. We're here for you.
