Second opinion…second opinion…mine. I encourage you to find another surgeon that can remove the growth sooner. Even if you have to drive to another city to have it done. December is too long to wait.

In 1993, I lost half of each lung due to cancerous polyps that had set up camp (Thanks Mom and Dad – those 2 packs a day each sure did the trick). In recovery, the best advice I ever got was to stop thinking and saying that I ‘had’cancer as it was a way of appropriating it and making it my own. From a holistic perspective, it was as if I was making the cancer part of me when I should have been thinking of it as something foreign that needed to be eliminated. This change of perspective most definietly saved my life and continues to do so every day. Buddhists say that all living things have value but where cancer cells are concerned, I say ‘Kill the fuckers’! Sending you courage and strength from the Great White North.
