@loispags, how was your recovery from surgery? Was it hard to make the decision to have surgery or not?

It takes a good year. My TG was 12/2022. Weight loss and muscles and malabsorption was an issue but I have no regrets. Just got back from Italy trip. Decision was immediate after I learned I had the mutation I was 79 now 82.
No cancer in my family so I was shocked. My son inherited the mutation is under surveillance. Who knew?!
