The side effects are very low if done well.

I do want to point out, and yes I also tried going to a center of excellence, that it still matters who you see. In general this is true everywhere I went: A surgeon will advise surgery. A Radiation guy will advise radiation.

They leave it up to you to find other answers if you want to look at those. So that means you need to read, call around a lot more, do a lot more work than just going to the same place where you already know what they are going to say. Basically, they aren't going to advise other options and leave that 100% up to you.

Thank you for the mention of Tulsa, it's good for me to know options!

And I am absolutely taking this bull by the horns myself, I've already got a second DaVinci surgeon scheduled for a consultation, two medial oncologists, one radiation oncologist and plan to get thirds from MD Anderson in all three fields.
