I have another of my one million questions ! I saw my radiologist on fri ( i really liked him) And he is unsure if I need Radiation Being Just a stage I with no node involement. Feels as though maybe shouldnt use that "ACE CARD" in case later on. However has said if it is the way to go it would be best to go with brachytherapy and expalined it all . He is calling a freind and Colegue at Sloan Kettering ..one of the heads down there in the head and neck department to discuss my case. he says ultimatley my decision and I have to say I am torn. If the Dr at sloan kettering says Not Nessacary .Do I just not do it and consider that as to be my second opinion ? my surgeon didnt feel strong about radiation either. I have an Appt @ Dana Farber in Boston in a couple of weeks but should I go if I am waiting for answers from A Dr at sloan Kettering ? ughhhh And do you feel if they say "they got it all" and No node involemnet really warrants radiation. ?
