Is medical treatment an option?? Or is surgery not an option for you??

I want to believe medical treatment can be as effective as surgical treatment. I'm trying the weigh the pros and cons of both. I don't know which would be better given my age and other conditions. I just want to live out the rest of my life and not have to worry too much about anything.

My doctors are encouraging surgery followed by medical treatment with the chance that medical treatment won't be needed after surgery.

I would like to try the opposite. I would like to try medical treatment with the chance the surgical treatment won't be needed. Medical treatment generally can be reevaluated and changed as needed but surgical treatment is generally permanent and can't be reversed.

I have moved away from the idea of "no treatment." I suppose I will decide sooner or later or the NET will decide for me one way or another.

@dadcue What do you mean by medical treatment? I don't know what that means. Thanks.
