I prefer it that way actually - call me crazy but I believe in the primary is boss theory - if you cut a chunk out of it... Then any other cancer cells that may be there but are laying dormant - jump into action because the boss is now disabled. Hence the rapid spread at times. That's why when they mentioned e 3 mm node that had highlighted on the baseline scan for my radiation - I told them not to biopsy it - probably too small - and knowing it could be anything - not necessarily cancer - I said fry it anyway - so - they rewrote my radiation plan to include the right side. (my lesion and one cancerous node were originally on my left side) but this node with attitude was on my right. I just wanted it nuked.
No cutting - no waiting for results... Just cook it.
