Hi, Sheryl.

I'm betting that this is not what anybody expected!

I really don't know what to think about all of this. Perhaps they got the cells before they changed over to malignancy. I wish they gave you a better description of the kind of cells that were found.

How does Charles feel about all of this? How is he feeling after his surgery?

I just read through this thread and am joining the conversation now. I haven't been on the boards for a while.

Here's to hoping for the best outcome and that Charles heals up quickly from the surgery.

You take care of yourself, as well!

Much care,
Kerri
