        I decided I will follow thru with the 5 treatments of radiation on my back and left groin area. But is there anyone out there who has been stage 3b that decided not to take the interferon route and has had a healthy life? Also understanding all cases are different. I don't like believing that the 5 year life expectancy is 60% for stage 3b.

              Thank you! 

              what was the reasoning for no radiation? I am scheduled in for next week but it's only a recommendation.
