    rough road
    Maryln
    sound like a rough road you have traveled. Sound like your first doctor was good at surgery but not at much else. Looks like you made a decision on the lymph nodes, good luck and hope there is no cancer found there. Will they use DeVinic again I has DeVinic surgery 2/09 ended up wth stage 2B had 25 sessions of external IMRT radaition and 4 internal (HDR) radaition. Noe dancing with NED ( no evidence of disease). We are here to help you and suport you please keep us updated
