That is great news Susan and best wishes for your upcoming operation. It was great that you took the advise to get more opinions.
I was in such shock when I got the diagnosis that I just went along with everything that the doctors said. Had not found this site at that stage and did not even know where to go for another opinion.
Will be thinking of you on the 6th and looking out for your post.
