Hi all

These replies are SO helpful. They make me feel like I can do this, and like I'm not alone! I am still recovering from surgery so won't start Rads for another 2-3 weeks. Am meeting the oncologist tomorrow to discuss chemo although I'm fairly certain it will be recommended as I had ECE in my one involved node.

I'm sure u will all be hearing from me again soon! This forum has been invaluable so far in getting me prepared (I already bought my WaterPik :-))

Thanks!
