You are in the most difficult stage...what do I do?

?? I made my mind up and changed it at least 3 times. Each time my mind was made up, I was sure it was really made up...this time.
Medicine is a job, and when I realized that, I took a different approach to my treatment. It's not wrong to look at these doctors as applicants on a job interview, and you are interviewing them, hiring them to treat you. Find out as much as you can about each doctor. There is a large data base of questions on this site that you can ask them. If there were 10 ways to treat you, you would find 10 doctors that would all make 10 different approaches to treating you. The recovery is generally short term, so think of what your long term results will be. Don't pick a doc just because they have an opinion!
I picked surgery because I felt, after asking all the questions, that I would have a better long term results. There are people here that have had wonderful out comes from surgery, radiation, or a combination of the two. The choice has to be yours. Don't pick a doctor just because they have a recommendation...they all have one! There is generally no rush to get these tumors treated, so just take your time, read everything you can, ask more questions, visit all of the boards here, listen to the outcomes of others.
When you can grab the rock from my hand grasshopper...you will know....
