Eileen,

If it helps you some. I had the same procedure in 2007. It was a snap compared to Oral cancer. I did the radiation after the surgery. So far so good. No new problems.

I know what you are feeling.. you did not need this on top of the other.

Take a deep breath you will get through this too.
Take care
Diane
