Thanks Ladies. I still have to have my pet scan done and pre-op, but yes, surgery is scheduled for 4/16. My doctor will be out of the country for Easter week or I might have gotten it done sooner. And Donna, you are so right when you say baby steps as I move towards ridding it a 3rd time.......xoxoxoxo
