@tbgb50 don't miss the surgery too much. It is not a walk in the sunshine. Both options work very well! They have both their own pros and cons. Take it easy, at least you don't have to make a decision. It's a difficult one.

I am sorry to hear that your wife has passed away. Good that you have found this site, you get excellent information here and some company.

My husband is 5 months post surgery and 8 months post diagnosis. Thanks for asking, he is much better now. Does what every man does on this site: try to stay positive and try to be brave. You will be much better in 8 months time as well!
