My wife drives out to Annandale every month to her hair salon as the best colorist in the DC/VA area has a shop there. If I had it all to do over again, I would still do just the radiation and chemo first and save the surgery for possible recurrence in a more accessible spot - just like it played out. The only think I would change in hindsight would be to have checked out the Tomotherapy facilities in Inova as despite being a CCC, the Lombardi Center's radiation room still has not brought on line their second newer machine despite it being "any day" for two full years now. I could not help but notice in various posts and blogs that I appeared to be the only one who had to wait over an hour past appointment times to get the treatment on a daily basis. It was only the last two weeks of radiation when the first morning slot opened up that I got timely treatment. By mid afternoon they were always backed up. I wish you the best and am very interested in the actual mechanics of delivery of your radiation as I may just switch this time around rather than endure the dismal delivery of TX.
