Hello Anikadow, did you consult with your oncologist regarding the radiation ?

Yes, I did. My main concern was balancing the risk of another recurrence with preserving the function of my leg, especially since any additional surgery in the same area could affect how well I walk and use it.
Since radiation isn't available on my island, my doctor consulted with an oncologist on a neighboring island that does offer it. After reviewing my case, that oncologist also recommended that I proceed with the additional surgery and felt that it should be the final course of treatment.
