Always - no matter what get a second opinion. I didn't do that with lung cancer and had a lobectomy which has ruined my life. The surgeon was horrible and left me with chronic pain and a forever broken rib which causes my problems all the time. I saw a Mayo surgeon about fixing my chest, he said no one will ever want to help you. So please make sure all of you get as much medical advice as you can before doing anything. I have prostrate cancer now, was diagnosed last year as Gleason 7 my most current PSA is 8.5, due to my spouse having a rare cancer last year and having treatment done this last winter I was forced into active surveillance. Now with the wife on the mend I'm pretty much done waiting, and trying to decide where to have my radiation done and what type, photon or proton. I guess the type will determine the where,
