I wouldn't be happy with one doctor's opinion, even if he is at one of the best cancer institutions in the world. I am surprised that he has not staged the disease also. While this particular cancer like to stay localized, I would want to know for sure. He can't tell that without proper scans etc. My guess is he is a surgeon. I am less interested in what he believes than I am in what he knows for sure.
