He showed me the tumor on my MRI and explained it and the location, the procedure to remove it, and what symptoms the surgery was likely and not likely to fix. He outlined the next steps and made It clear It Is my choice to move fast or wait, but did recommend removing the tumor as it is likely to continue growing and could cause more issues than it currently is. I felt he answered most of my questions and concerns before I needed to ask.
