Why did you choose surgery instead of radiation or vise versa?

I think this may be a topic that the newly diagnosed may find useful.

The differences are often subtle which makes the decision even more difficult but better to be information-overloaded rather than information-deprived.

kjacko - Best of luck with your surgery and I pray all goes well. I assume you have chosen a center of excellence for your surgery. I did a lo of research and chose Mayo - Rochester and Dr. Igor Frank. Amazing hospital, surgeon, and staff. The quality of life for the rest of your life will depend on the competence of the surgeon and his staff.

I will be praying that all goes well and you come out with negative margins and full control of your equipment.

Thanks for the kind words Jim. I am having my surgery done by one of the top surgeons in the Greater Milwaukee area. He has a great track record and has done over 1000. I felt very comfortable when discussing the entire process with him. 🙏🤞

Awesome, sounds like you have done your homework and will not be on a doctor's learning curve.
