I am sorry you are having to deal with this.
The consensus of opinion that I have seen on this board over the past 4 years appears to be, you only get one chance at beating this disease hit it with EVERYTHING available to you .
My husband did not have surgery his tumor was also too large but as you can see he is doing really well.
Take Care
