Quality of life post surgery

My quality of life is every bit as good as it was before I had cancer 11 years ago.

If you'd rather go against the advice of your medical team to get rid of your cancer whilst it's tiny, then that's your choice. But it will be more dangerous in a few years if it's grown to something bigger and potentially nastier.

We can't and won't tell you what to do but I'd say the luckiest thing that happens to most of us is finding out we've got it and getting the cancer out before it gets any worse.

If you knew the brakes on your car were wearing low, would you just carry on driving for a few more years on the theory that you can fix them a few years later?
