surgery for mediastinal lymphnodes?
Julie: Do you live anywhere near a facility that has Cyberknife? It can be used for your situation. Don't ask your onc or even a rad onc if they do not use the Cyberknife. The treatments they are giving are novel and still emerging with this device and the only way to know for sure if it is an option is to consult with a Cyberknife rad onc.
Check on www.accuray.com for a location that would be nearest to you.
Good luck!!
