Not sure what your medical options are where you are located but try very hard to get another opinion from a different specialist, and I mean NOT a surgeon. You see a surgeon and the answer is surgery. You see an oncologist and they say radiation and chemo. These are the two known proven methods of killing cancer.
Better still get your case presented before a tumor board. Many doctors with different specialties are present and weigh in their opinion. You can attend, press hard if they say sorry but no. It is your life they are making life altering recommendations - you have a RIGHT to be there if you so desire.
Good luck
