You are at a center of excellence- MSK and are in good hands! Regarding the tumor size, did you mean cm instead of mm? Either way, that’s a great size for your discovery to have been made. How did it come about may I ask?
Also, as someone who quit smoking at 34 years old, (many years ago), you’re going to get through your surgery and recovery better if you could put that habit to rest. Good luck with that, but you can do it. My husband is almost 2 months post smoking now as he got a very bad case of pneumonia recently; you can do it!

Thanks for your input! I did mean cm. My symptoms were obvious problems with my digestive system. And weight loss, no appetite. I think I was lucky to get the CT scan done right away. And set up a meeting with the surgeon 2 weeks later. He was on holiday in Europe. Next was the camera down my throat and she added stents to liver and bile ducts. I will try to stop smoking after recovery from surgery. Can’t smoke in hospital!
