No radiation. I did specifically mention that I was willing to go through it if necessary when I was advocating for the more aggressive chemo using Folfirinox. I was reading the latest scientific papers in 2012 when I was diagnosed and the European pancreatic cancer oncology community was doing clinical studies. I was having such a robust response to Folfirinox that they felt there likely be no benefit. And in the end it was the additional chemo cycles that took care of any minimal residual disease.
