Charm: We live near each other. I live in Annandale, VA.
As you know both Lombardi and Johns Hopkins are within easy driving distance. I have call JH to inquire about a 2nd opinion, but it'll take 1-2 weeks before results.
My current team does not want to do surgery. Unless I learn something different on Thursday, the plan is radiation and chemo. I believe my cancer is a little more aggressive so I really don't want to wait much long. My lymph nodes are small (8mm) but there is some activity showing but I think rad can take care of that. I'm trying to work all the angles. My oncology team is excellent. The only difference in treatment would be should I have surgery or just do the rad/chemo at this time. The tomotherapy I'll be getting is the most precise. With my own research I think I have a T3NOMO, but I won't have a difinite until Thursday.
