Hy Nate!! So glad to hear everything is going as planned!!! Woohoo!! In a few days u my friend will most likely be cancer free!!! Yes you will have pain for a few days but according to my sister it wasn't so bad. I don't know if she just says that to still prove to me that she is the older one and nothing fazes her or if that's the truth. None the less she healed very quickly from surgery and I am sure those good drugs helped. =). Please keep us posted. I'll be praying. Just remind your family that most people heal quickly from this it is amazing. They might be shocked walking in to see you after surgery. BEST!!
