Hello,
I have just sent you a PM and then scrolled on down and saw this.
I am so sorry that you are facing this again. I'm sure the last year has been incredibly stressful for you and then this again.
I would definitely be following up tomorrow and also push to get into the next Friday tumour Board slot. Are you being treated at Auckland Hospital?
The good part is that this is early and small. I know the thought of surgery again is daunting, but it is what you have to do to be cancer free.
Kris's recurrence was a bolt out of the blue so I know how you are feeling.
I hope while you are waiting you do get quality time with your family and Grandbabies.
Tammy
