There is never any garantee that a cancer will not come back. Ask your vet to talk you through the side effects of radiation. It is an awful lot to put a dog through when there is no way to explain why or when it will end. I really feel for you as the decisions facing you are very tough. Your vet, if you trust him/her, is the one who knows your particular situation the best and will give you the best advice. Again, my thoughts are with you, let us know how things go.
