    Hi everyone;

    Well I had the surgery 3 weeks ago and it looks very good. The doctor said the cancer hasn't spread any further (thank God!) but they still want me to have radiation. I'm still really sore and I still tire easily - it'll still be a few more weeks before I'm really better. Oddly enough, I got alot more support, flowers, cards, and visits from all my "worldly" co-workers and my "apostate" friends than what I did from people at the Hall. Although some from the Hall were nice and seemed genuinely concerned, but the majority obviously don't really care. Nice Christians.

    I'm not 100% sure I want to have radiation; after all if it hasn't spread then why would I need it? Has anyone here had radiation? If so, any side effects?

    (((Mary))) Welcome back & I'm happy to hear of the prognosis.

    My father-in-law is sort of in your situation - regarding the radiation - get a 2nd opinion. But, I know the radiation will better your chances for no recurrence, so in the end its a gamble you take 1 way or the other.

    Best of luck to you!
