Test Results And My Dilema

It was brought to my attention that some of you are waiting to hear the results of my MRIs. I wasn't worried and didn't hear for 2 days so didn't even think about it. Thankfully I was right this time, both were negative :-). All is good. No more explanation will be given.

On the way home from the cardiologist last week my surgeon called me and he had 3 options (for surgery) for me.

1. Wait 3 months to see what another ECHO says about my heart. Will the tumor grow? spread?

2. Have the tumor and one lymph node removed under a local anesthetic with light sedation, at the hospital 40 minutes away. It's a good hospital, just not as big and specialized as St Luke's. If the node is positive I will have to have surgery later (under general anesthesia) to remove more lymph nodes.

3. Have the whole surgery done under general anesthesia, at St Lukes. Because of my heart I am at a higher risk and that hospital has specialists there and I'd be in good hands.

The oncologist and surgeon don't want to wait.

My friends have given me their opinions. A blogger friend, Lois, has given me hers (from past experience).

Pray I make the right decision.
