As you know, your treatment is up to you. If it were me I'd do the chemo. Your stats are similiar to mine except your tumor is smaller, but you are younger and male. I'm guessing there's not a whole lot of research out there for you.

Sorry about the arm. Recently, they do a sentinel node biopsy. Take out the first 2 that the nuclear dye light up. Reduces the side effect you speak of. They need to order you a cuff for your arm to control the swelling and pain.

It's give your onc a break month. Don't give him the toiletries.

Best of luck, BB
