Gina,
I'm right behind you. I just had a PET yesterday and will see my doctor on Friday for the results. This is my second opinion and I am prepared to go for a third. I already know I need the same kind of surgery as you and soon. Good info on this forum, helping me as much as you and, of course raising more questions. I too am very scared but coming here helps ease the fear as I grow in understanding what to expect and what questions to ask. I'll be thinking of you and following your progress here!
