Hi Cheryl. Your surgery date is getting closer and it is not at all unusual for your brain to begin having a little fun with you by throwing in a few extra irrelevant symptoms just to keep you busy. I have said this many times, but cancer is a thief. Do not let it steal days it doesn't deserve. You have to give it surgery and recovery days, but don't give it any others!!

Force your mind to other people or things. Quite often the best way to get "outside of yourself" while you are waiting is to volunteer somewhere or do something for someone you know who is in need. Truly a Win/Win.

You have an early stage cancer so all good - get it treated and then work hard to "return to your regularly scheduled programming"!!

Hugs to my fellow Canuck.
