Based on your posts, you're looking for someone to tell you it's ok to go ahead with surgery. You're ignoring all the posts telling you it shouldn't be necessary and the T1 depth invasion into your colon wall makes absolutely no sense since there was no cancer cells detected in the stalk of the polyp.
Surgery isn't to be taken lightly. There are many complications which can result from a surgical procedure. To forge ahead with doing a procedure which is "elective" isn't sound judgement. And I wouldn't put too much emphasis on two CRC surgeons saying surgery is reasonable. If you're determined enough, you can find any medical doctor to agree to something you really want.

My father past away last year and my mom is a breast cancer survivor and doesn't speak English. I just want to be as aggressive as I can be to fight this.
