Hi Brad. It seems like such a dilemma sometimes, to know what the best course is. I guess it really boils down to you being your own best advocate when it comes to your healthcare..
Personally I am wishing for the day when we can completely get away from radiotherapy and on to some medicine that cleans it all up. We are almost there now and the strides made just in the last few years are amazing. Radiation has caused me more problems than most people could ever imagine. I'm still alive 23 years out but it has been a fight at times.
Hope things work out well for you. I was about your age when I went down the rabbit hole. I wish no one would ever have to join this club. Good healing.
