Frankly when I found out I had a tumor I wanted it out NOW - I was biopsied dec 10 - diagnosis given dec 20th clear chest and head ct dec 21' - by the 27th I could feel a node involved - and my cancer was "well differentiated" once it starts to move it takes off even if it's not aggressive, it does of course depend on your body. But I told my surgeon when I met with him a few weeks after my dx - get it out Now - then after surgery when he told me he thought I was cured (not something i took lightly) but he still wanted me to do rads and chemo, I said - how soon.. I want to start it ASAP.

The sooner you start it the sooner it's done. Plus if there is a something microscopic left the longer you wait the more time it has to grow and spread, and at that point it may not be that easy to catch. Hugs ... Don't be scared it won't be fun but you can do it.
