Eileen. Congrats on the good news. Im hoping you can have another surgery to take care of getting bigger margins. Good luck with your radiation appointment. Dont be surprised if your rad doc wont give you a clear answer. I would be amazed if they would tell you that your cancer was due to something they did. A cause isnt something that will help with the final outcome anyway. Wishing all goes well with everything.

Have a great trip to the races smile
