Hello Jeff. This is a long time to wait until May but your body may need to heal too.
I have a different kind of cancer but an aggressive one by nature. I got surgery on october 28 and they removed all they could find., too. Ct scan done, no apparent metastasis, 1 lymph node positive out of 32 removed.
So no local radiations
But i was started on adjuvant chemotherapy this week. They even wanted to start 2 weeks ago.
I dont know where you are treated but maybe getting a second opinion would help?
I originally had an initial consultation with an oncologist on 11/4. I contacted Mayo on an impulse because it was a month away at the time. On october 27, i had a series of tests scheduled at Mayo and on october 28, surgery needed was done at Mayo too. Since then, i have felt very well taken care of and never let down.
In my case the second opinion helped a lot. But everyone is different 🙂
I wish you good luck in your journey.

Thanks for your reply. I've been getting treated at Dana Farber. So you think I shouldn't wait until May?
