@naturegirl5 hi thank you so very very much for your response for me. I was so glad to see your response. Yes I am located and working with Barnes, Jewish hospital school of advanced medicine where they have training students, and then we have three excitement centers here in Missouri. I went to my old gynecologist seeing if she could refer me to excitement center since it’s not associated with Barnes, Jewish school of Advanced Medicine. I was hoping maybe they would consider at the site Center chemo or radiation or proton radiation. They do have proton radiation in St. Louis, which is why I keep pushing and saying that we’re thinking maybe we can do something like that without the full eradication. Thank you so much again for your reply. Have you heard of the second opinions after offering radiation chemo or proton radiation therapy instead and shrinking some of these before they do this photo with surgery and maybe not have to do the whole eradication? Thank you again so much.

@lindarosemanweiss I'm glad to know you are working with a major cancer center. I was unfamiliar with Barnes Jewish Hospital so I looked it up. Is this it?
Barnes Jewish Hospital
-- https://www.bjc.org/
Barnes is affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis and so that's an excellent option for you.
I've heard of all sorts of options here on Mayo Clinic Connect from our members. I think that since you have specific questions about radiation and chemotherapy before surgery that this is something you want to ask when you get another opionion.
I'm tagging @denisestlouie as she is in St. Louis and sought out other opinions. I'd also encourage you to go to her Profile and read what she has written as she is active here on Connect. You can do that by clicking on her name that appears in blue in this post. That will take you to her profile. Her posts start from her diagnosis, through treatment, and up to the present.
I wasn't sure from what you wrote but are you still thinking of getting an option at another cancer care center?
