Hi Chelee,

I do not recall your specific dx, but was wondering if brachytherapy would be of benefit to you. Its where "seed implants" are placed where the tumor was removed and you are radiated directly into that area without affecting any other tissue. The radiation is over a period of 5 days...
I attached a website depicting the seed implants.
