which solid surgery only groups ? Do you mean reading online in groups ? I understand its hard to know if surgery is enough even though some fantastic surgeons and pathologists are confirming that route for now with check ups etc.

So I was referring to the conclusion data in some studies amongst those who received surgery only. There are good numbers meaning the surgery only group is showing strong success depending on the individual circumstances such as low stage and node involvement. In the end, the jury seems to kind of still be out but there is hope I think that therapy will de-escalate over time with this specific cancer. But I find myself dwelling on the 10 or so percent that can get me lol

Hey @ccancer12 , what is your story? What are you going through or is it someone close to you? You have no biography on record so it makes it hard to understand where you are coming from. You could be someone who has lost someone, or a drug company spokesperson, or starting treatments, ten years out with issues, voodoo specialist, something else. Hope you respond.
