Hi there - try not to freak out too badly we've ll been there in some form or another in this group - your story is very similar to mine, I finished rads and chemo a year ago may 4th. The surgery isn't too bad... It's very involved but you'll heal up - not sure where your being treated but hopefully it's a good hospital with experienced surgeons. smile best of luck with the surgery - do yourself a favor and bring something to write or type on - you'll need it to communicate with for a few days... Let us know how it goes... Hugs - you'll get through this.
