This is such a difficult decision to face, and it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed with surgery approaching so quickly. Many people in this community have wrestled with similar choices about the extent of surgery, and there's no single right answer that works for everyone. The decision often depends on many personal factors that only you and your medical team can fully evaluate together. Consider reaching out to other community members who may share their experiences and thought processes - their perspectives might help you feel more confident about whatever choice feels right for your situation.
