Why Not Surgery?

Some of you have asked me why I haven't had surgery to remove the tumors. Surgery is an option, of course, but one that would seriously compromise the quality of my life. The current course of treatment that I am on, the combination of Afinitor and Sandostatin, is considered to be the most current, most effective, and least invasive treatment I can be on. If I were diagnosed even three years ago, I would have already have had surgery. I am fortunate that I have access to the best course of treatment available.
