Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 1,163 | I have my surgery scheduled in 6 days and am having 2nd thoughts on the decision . I see the rd oncologist tomorrow morning at 7:45 and get his opinion. (Brian, They do the IMRT type at the cancer center I am going to.) If my chances are the same with surgery vs rd, why would I choose the surgery?
How do they determine the odds of one vs the other or is it just an opinion? My wife the nurse
wants me to have the surgery but and I am confused. It is MY decision, It is my body. I want to avoid the surgery if possible. But I want to make the right decision the first time. Dan
