u can still wait till you complete 3 months post completion of radiation therapy as radiation requires time for complete action. Hope u have undergone brachytherapy as a complete part of your treatment. If after 3 months, there is no complete response, surgery is possible. It depends on extent of disease at that time. Exenteration is a surgery which might be required if there is no response after radiation, but it is a morbid surgery
