Deb,

I am currently in the post surgery and " get ready for radiation " stage of treatment. Like said by others, I felt like I was never going to get to surgery and that the possibility of a cancellation may happen. Do what you feel is right in your heart and for Bob, because the first set of doctors I met were a bit nerdy and dingy, lol. But I tell you when the big bad boss came in, his presence was felt and he treated my disease like the enemy and I felt he cared about me. My decision was made and I let my mother and fiancee know that I did not want to search anymore and I had no insurance anyway, had surgery the 16th and I am just living it up and getting fat for surgery.

Your Friend,

Nathan
