Hi Kelli,

Sending lots of positive thoughts your way for your scheduled surgery 7/20.

Folks who have walked the path you are starting out on are here for you and have a wealth of information about treatment and recovery. They will also have lots of information about making the transition from patient to survivor. Please take comfort in the knowledge that you can come to OCF for an ear or a shoulder. And, there will always be someone here who cares and understands.

Hang tough and keep moving forward.

Sending a hug,

Sandy
