Operation is a good start...

Understanding that cancer is a condition and not a disease can change how we view things completely. For example, when my mother first went for her operation to remove her cancer tumor in her breast together with one breast, we thought that was it. Cancer tumor removed and what we can do is sit around and pray that it never come back again. Guess the "Scale" is still tipped all along and with time, the cancer cells regrouped again and our prayers remains unanswered.

So now, if anyone are to ask me for my opinion on operations, I would tell them this. Good that an operation is possible, because that would mean, most of the cancer cells can be removed at one time, however, treat the operation as a good start and not an end. Remember the tumor has been removed does not mean that the "condition" has changed. In many case, they have not. Try to imagine "Operation Desert Storm", that initial victory was swift, even sweet but is the battle really over?

There is more to be done and can be done. Although I cannot guarantee success, I truely believe that seeing the operation as a beginning is a good start and would already greatly improve your chances of surviving the condition.
