Shiela,

I am sure you would have thought about it but is there any way to do surgery or radiation(I read somebody did cyberknife for their mediastinal nodes) or someother thing locally than to be on a chemo? If only one area is getting affected repeatedly why can't we treat it locally? You have been on my mind latley and this is what I keep thinking about you.
