After a long time. I was following it as it happened. He finally had the surgery only after it had progressed to the point where it was impossible to ignore.

As someone who has had cancer, I can tell you that it's full of decisions that people who have never faced it can't understand.

There is definitely, at least in the U.S., this crazy expectation that the patient and/or the family members need to make the medical choices offered them. When my mom, lung cancer now deceased, was going through it I remember wishing we had a medical lawyer type person to interpret the information and suggestions we were getting. In the end we made some poor decisions that led to less life and less quality of life for my mother. All because we didn't have the medical knowledge and understanding needed to make better choices.
