Hey Everyone!
I'm Stacey! I'm still recovering from radiation and surgery side effects. No taste buds, chronic dry mouth and getting PT for left shoulder. I'm currently NED!

I'm glad to be alive and thankful I got that 2nd opinion. I think my story would be much different if I hadn't. I have quit asking "Why" and have accepted that this is the path I have been given.

I'm so glad I found this forum!
