I am not sure about if you have to have surgery. I could not have surgery because mine was so advanced. If you go to 360.yahoo.com/.survivor32t
I talk about my cancer alot in my blog. But I think if you talk to your doctor and let them know your feelings on surgery then maybe they can just do the radiation and chemo. If you have anymore questions please just ask. I will help you and answer them the best that I can. God Bless.
