A couple more details from the radiation oncology appointment

Just a couple more details that I left out when I made my last update about the radiation oncology appointment.

1)  The size of Charlie's tumor is 1.4cm at its longest.  It's more of an oblong shape, it's not a sphere, so that's where it's biggest.  For reference, his tumor when they removed it was 2.4cm x 2.4cm x 1.5 cm (I think).  So it's considerably smaller, BUT some peoples tumors are measured in MMs...

2) Dr. Alexander DID say that the risk of complete blindness due to radiation was RARE, but possible.
