We will meet with the surgeon, Dr. Rodriguez-Bigas, first thing Thursday morning. Long term, it is important that we surgically remove this tumor. From speaking with his R.N. today, I am thinking he is going to bring up all the risks (there are many) and question whether it is worth it. However, he does like to say "I never say never and I never say always." I think he may be willing to do it. At least I sure hope so.

One other note. His surgery schedule is full all January. So the earliest that surgery is possible, should he be willing to do it, is the first week of Feb.
