What kind of surgery IF its cancer? I was like you and refused to even consider that I would have a recurrance. I was so afraid of it coming back that I wouldnt even read a post about recurrances.
Please remember its not cancer til a biopsy says it is. Please keep us updated. Dont forget that we are here if you need a place to gp for support. Ive been thru 2 recurrances and Im sure I can help you IF you have one.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
