Hi Nancy...Good you're at 1b...wonderful, caught early! No my doctors did not recommend SBRT radiation instead of surgery..probably because I want the surgery. So they are trying to shrink it and if all goes well, I would prefer the surgery...I want it OUT of my body! But I will ask about it..

I can understand wanting the Cancer out.
It does seem the best plan.
I’m just so afraid of the results/complications.
Even during the biopsy, even though I warned the doctors and nurses, still they managed to scratch my cornea and cut/bruise/blister my lip. Of course these things heal -just painful.
I have also had serious infections (the hospital kind) from surgeries. So many things to go wrong . My right hip has been replaced 5 times, infected, dislocated and hurts a lot daily.
I can’t imaging a lung “oopsie” that results with me not being able to walk and breath.
