Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 99 | Darrel, Thats such great news! I hope you start feeling better...I was wondering if you or anybody knew if they can remove a tumor after its been shrunk with the chemo/rad TX? My husband has BOT like you(his is a T4) and has just finished TX. Now I'm sweating waiting for the scans in 12 weeks to see if the tumor is gone and just want to be prepared if we are faced with any decisions or options(or maybe there are none). Was your tumor completly gone after your first TX? I feel I can't ask these questions at the MO visits with my husband there because I don't want to sound negative but I also want to be prepared. Thanks...Kerry
