I’m dealing with an elderly relative who has cancer. The doctors are optimistic. There’s a great chance of survival with cancer nowadays. It’s not like the old days.

It’s still a shock and a huge worry to get that diagnosis though.

You don’t have to answer this but is there any reason they’re leaving it alone for now?

Yes. The surgery would be too harsh on me. It is a mass about the size of a walnut.
