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.

In my area, they offered intraoperative radiation that would be a one-time only radiation treatment. If they have that in your area, please check into it. Sadly for me, my lymph nodes had eroded into the lymphatic system so I was awarded with 30 radiation treatments. However, the personnel there and doctors were so very supportive and it was over before I knew it.
