How about rad/chemo combined, I am stage 1, my surgeon treated it that it was much higher level, my radiologist wasnt trilled with dessiccion of chemo/rad, my oncologist was ok with that, any way I had chemo/rad, and cancer was gonne, was reffered to second surgeon, he said no need for surgery, my first surgeon still wanted me to have mop-chemo, my oncologist agreed, so thats where I am now, and hopefully this will be my last treatment.
With cancers its like gambling, what works on one, might not work on another, but more is better.
While back I did a lots of research, and found that 75% of cancers that were treated only surgically, no chemo, came back within 2 years, it was some european study, cant find it again.
Good Luck!
