The latest MRI noted “no metastatic disease in the pelvis. Previous 7mm IMA chain lymph node measures 5mm.”

I am going to look into 2nd opinion tomorrow for sure.

Since it hasn’t spread, I would look into proton radiation.
Mine was anal cancer wrapped on my sphincter. Surgery could not be done without destroying it. Regular radiation spreads to surrounding tissue-destroying it, Proton radiation goes just to the tumor. Painless and I still have control of those muscles.
