Surgery scheduled for the 31st

I  am scheduled to have gamma knife surgery on the 31st hopefully to get rid of this tumor, the decision was made because the stress my family has been going through and the effects on my life of a positive outcome out weighs the risks of the actual surgery. 

I want to thank all of the medical professionals and survivors who answered all of the questions I had, especially the ones from the #Braintumorthursday crew and especially all of the support yesterday. Your support and open discussion with me has eased my mind and brought peace to this decision.

I look back on all the moments I have had where I could have done things differently while living with this thing and there is no right or wrong answer as to what should have been done, only different shades of bad options and choices. I made the ones I made and I live with the consequences. 

For those who I have pushed away, I am sorry.. For those strangers who have given me so much I say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I choose trying my best to live vs waiting to die...
