Hi, and welcome to OCF. I was diagnosed with stage 1 no nodes and no spreading. I have had 4 surgeries.

I wonder who is treating you. I ask because I have been treated at Penn and Fox Chase and they never thought for a second that I needed radiation. What is their reason for wanting to do it? Where are you being treated?

Suzanne
