Thanks Eric. I normally am pretty good about everything and laugh a lot. For some reason lately I have been able to cry at the drop of a hat. I haven't been on here as much as I probably should for support. I don't have a lot of questions as I usually have peace about everything going on with the cancer side of things.

I am sure we have all been there as you just start to feel better after one surgery and have to go back for another. That is what I have been dealing with and have a colon resection in Jan as they found 2 large polyps (precancerous) and then a few months later I will be having more on my mouth. Hard to see time for a break when you know part of your future.

Sorry if I seem like I am complaining as I am not. Just venting.
