Catann, will surgery be the only treatment you'll need or will you have radiation? Feel free to ask questions. There's a whole group waiting to help 🙂

I will be having 3 weeks of radiation since my tumor is over 5 centimeters. If they find any cancer in the lymph nodes however, the radiation will be increased to 5 weeks.
