Thank you for answering so quickly. I think mostly they did nothing because the tumor is up against a large vessel and they didn't feel they could remove it safely. The chemo and radiation was to hopefully shrink it, so they could remove it. But, it didn't shrink it at the time. I am free of symptoms,but wonder if something needs to be done to keep me that way. After hearing from you I am considering getting a new opinion. At the time, I was seeing the best guy in town for this and he sent me to The Mayo clinic. After that I felt comfortable with thier expertise, Maybe it's timne to talk to some one else. Again, thank you so much for answering. So many people I have read about were able to have thier tumor removed or are undergoing some kind of maintenance. You really have helped me feel better. I hope to stay in touch,if that is o.k. with you.
