I had another appointment with the oncologist yesterday, and since I saw him last he has had a meeting with the surgeon. They have decided that as risky as it is, they have to operate, because to do anything less would be the end of me. They're not even going to try radiation therapy because they don't think the benefit gained from it would offset the damage done by the tumor in the amount of time it would take to complete. I've had a worrying few days because the tumor has started bleeding again already and is causing me some problems, so I don't really have any choice but to go under the knife and hope for the best. I have an appointment with the surgeon on the 28th to organise everything, so when I know more I'll let everyone know what's going on.
