Thanks for your reply. I'm so terrified, and baffled, by this diagnosis, and I haven't even 'been staged' yet, i.e., the news could get worse.
While I don't know the extent of this yet, or what all of my options are, I'm not opposed to radiation the way I am to chemo. What was your experience with radiation, as far as side effects?
I'm reading information on this virtually non-stop, which is elevating my stress levels and I know that's not good. But I need to be informed.
Thanks again for your response.
