My husband has a large tumor that has vascular involvement and was told here in OKC that it is inoperable. Am I understanding that they tried surgery then was not able remove the tumor after they got in there?

University of Michigan attempted the surgery but after they opened me up the surgeon realized he could not remove the tumor because of vein involvement.
I then went to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion and Dr. Truty did the surgery and was able to reconstruct the vein.

@kware53, how are you and your husband doing? What treatment did they offer your husband? Did you consider a second opinion?
