Hi there - everyone here has given you good advice. A second opinion is a good idea at a different ccc, as for choices... I'd definitely do the surgery - its a numbers game but 25% still beats 5%, or 0% - and they can wave numbers at you all they want they don't know. Hugs... I'm sorry about the outcome of the biopsy, hugs and prayers to you!
