    Sorry late response

    Hi Carolina...

     

    My husband has stage 4 cancer.. and we saw 3 different surgeon for opinions...  the last surgeon said "if anyone tell you that they can remove the tumor with negative margin.. then you are putting your life at risk..."  That being said...all 3 of them said the tumor is not resectable....

     

    I hope you had enough time and got different opinion... surgery is great if negative margins...but it has its own risks as well.
