Read the article more carefully. It doesn't say what the new surgery is going to be. It only says he had surgery in the past to remove tumors.
Actually, I think I read it more carefully than YOU did. That's not what it says.
"Lewis' insurance carrier would not pay for the SURGERIES TO REMOVE HIS TUMORS, treatments that doctors told him would stretch his life expectancy from one to two years to at least seven.
Lewis and Blansit got that news just hours before Lewis' second surgery in October but decided to forge ahead with THAT PROCEDURE, as well as a third and final operation...
Lewis' insurance carrier declined to cover the operationS (PLURAL) because they were classified as "experimental" and "exploratory,"..."
Anyway, I think the problem is that it's just a poorly written article.
