I can only imagine how you are feeling right now. I'm sorry that you're having to go through this again.
There may be some people on this forum who have had the same surgery that they are proposing for you, so hopefully one of those members will step up.
I am hoping for the best and least debilitating option for you. David has brought up some very good points about the different types of BOT cancers and whether or not you have discontinued smoking.
Please take care and keep us posted as you are able.
