I was very depressed with my recurrence. I was bemoaning what would happen the next time it recurred, when my husband said...wait for it..."Does it ever NOT come back? ".

Well, he had a point. Just because it came back once or twice does not mean it will ever show up again. Turns out that so far. (touch wood) he was right. Take care of it and then live without waiting for another shoe to drop.

You will do great with the surgery. Keep posting.
