As you know I was treated at Fox Chase also and by the male half of the team. I had a consult with the radiation oncologist before my surgery. Based on the results of my surgery, he was in on the decision not to do radiation or chemo.
Perhaps the radiation oncologist was in on the decision making and if so, you should have been told. You should ask.
