Hi
I have scc maxillary sinus cancer
I will have had three cycles of induction chemo and now they recommend partial maxillectomy surgery for May 2 The ct scan after 2 cycles showed a great reduction on the tumor but they say surgery they need for complete margins. My question is radiation post surgery. if they get all the visible cancer which they are confident. My concern are long term effects of radiation and is it worth it for preventative recurrence Do patients regret it
Is it worth the quality of living fee if preventative. Please respond as I am desperate for advice thank u
