Hi Risingsun,

I had my resection in August 2013, a long 12-hour procedure that had its complications and involved a slow recovery. My surgeon and my oncologist were of differing opinions about chemo, but at 62 (not so old but not so young either) I decided to not have the chemo. I had already been through so much misery, I took the carpe diem option. I will try to go about enjoying my life as much as possible and respond, as needed, to any related health issues that arise. It was a very personal decision which I thoroughly discussed with my partner and other family members who supported me completely. I empathize with you in this decision, having spent many hours thinking about it. Best of luck to you.
