Her latest pet scan is negative. But can she really be cured without a surgery? Why is the surgeon waiting for 6 weeks? It seems that the surgery would be very radical. The surgeon claims to wait and see… wait for what? I am confused about the whole situation. She is in UK.

My impression is that this surgeon in the UK has given her the option doing surgery now or wait and see. They will revalue in 6 weeks. I am thinking I would choose the possible curative surgery now. She chose to wait. She is young. And big surgery seems scary of course. But I wonder what does the surgeon think about the wait and see option… why?
