update:
we are looking into other surgeons.
we are also considering radiation during chemo since the type of radiation we are considering would only be 5 days of treatments instead of the 5 weeks needed for conventional radiation. Again, we'll ask the doctors, but has anyone had radiation during chemo? How long did you wait between chemo and radiation, and then how long after radiation before resuming chemo? Thanks.
