Congrats Jo!!! Thanks for sharing your update with us! Thats the news we've all been wait to hear. I completely understand being brought to tears during a doctors appointment. You probably have been worrying more than you thought and carrying this burden around on your shoulders for too long.

Now you can focus on your recovery. Keep working on getting the best nutrition you can with special attention being paid to your protein intake and calories. You still need to take in extra calories and higher amounts of protein every day to help speed your healing. It can take a year or 2 before your body is completely recovered from the major surgery. Protein speeds healing, check with your doc if its ok to add high protein whey powder to your diet.

Best wishes with continued progress in your recovery
