Thank you all for your kind words

7. Thanks for caring!

Surgery went fine--clean margins on the tumor and no spread to lymph nodes, so I thought I was done, but at the surgeon's office I just found out I have to have chemo (again--I had it with the first breast cancer), so that's kind of a bummer, but I handled it fine last time, and the best part is I rock a bald head!

Oh, I'm sorry about your pap--but maybe it will turn out to be nothing serious (fingers and toes crossed for you). You're right--the waiting is killer! I suffered more during the time before my surgery than I have during my recovery. I wish that somehow the surgery, or the invasive testing (like your scope or a biopsy) could be done immediately you know there may be a problem. I literally gained 20 pounds during the 6 weeks I had to wait for the surgery. Hang in there, dear back.

I hope you will get some nice drugs--seems like that's the least they could do for you!

I'll be thinking about you--let me know what happens.
