I fully understand your hesitation to do anything, and the decision is totally yours, but that being said, my opinion would be to go out of watch and wait and get something done. It is growing and one thing for sure is that the bigger it gets, the more likely you are to develop additional symptoms that may or may not be permanent. Personally, I went with the surgery. I felt it was the right decision for me and I still do. I am 5 months post op now and feel better than I have in years. I'm not going to try and convince you one way or another, just do your research and decide which option you are most comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with radiation, some people are. Just remember that no matter which method you consider, the doctors are going to warn you of the possible worst case scenarios. But the chances of you being in that category with a small tumor are very slim. By the way, I am 56 so I am not a young person, but I am physically active. If you do lean towards the surgery, being physically active is a huge advantage in your recovery.
