I was just told by the doctor that I have reoccurrence of cancer and they want to do an exeneration on June 20th. I am hopeful to hear from someone that can give me clear insight as to what may be expected, should I decide to have the surgery. 

The doctor said they would remove the bladder, vagina, and colon if they were able to perform the surgery. He said 50% of the patients that go in for this surgery are not able to receive it because the cancer has attached itself to other organs or the wall. The 25% that have the surgery successfully are able to live cancer free and the other 25% have a reoccurrence.

I keep thinking that if I just take better care of myself, and eat very
healthy from now on, maybe the cancer will not spread and I could live a
few more years without having surgery. But then again I think surely the doctor knows best and maybe I should listen to him. Can you offer any suggestions or advice?

Everyone is praying and my hope is healing from my Lord, Jesus, as He is the Great Physician.  This is the biggest battle I have ever faced, and regardless which route taken, I know the enemy has been defeated!
