Hey Mayolink, it’s usually a real toss up between surgery and radiation (of many kinds). But it is rare to hear radiation oncologists advise someone to do surgery - that’s a big red flag for me.
If the people who do radiation tell you NOT to do it, perhaps surgery is your best option, even with all its potential side-effects.
Also, as has been mentioned, getting diagnosed at such a young age gives you many more years of surviving - but also the potential for recurrence which requires radiation.
