Personally I like to get at least 2 opinions on the course of treatment before deciding what to do. I also gather as much information as I can on what each and every doctor is suggestions. Patients that are pro-active (involved in making all decisions about what should be done) during treatment tend to have better outcomes. You have time to speak with another surgeon and a oncologist to gather this info.
Even though cancer is scary you rarely need to rush into a decision or treatment. Mostlikely it have been growing away in your body for several years. A few weeks or a month won't make any difference at this point. That should be obvious since the surgeon didn't rush into anything but gave you weeks before your surgery.
