At least the surgeon is willing to take your husband's wishes into consideration and he's not a "my way or the highway" kind of doctor. Take it a step at a time, maybe the doctors will come up with something more if they can't get all of the tumor. Best wishes and I will keep the two of you in my thoughts.
