Thank you all for giving me strength. I appreciate you all. This is going to be a difficult time for sure. I'm starting to get my affairs in order so I won't have to think about anything but recovery. I moved a few months ago to be near my sister and that proved to be a very wise decision. What a blessing, at least I can count on her if I have to.
I will call my doctor in the morning to ask those all too important questions. So far, he hasn't given me all the facts or information that I need. I can't go to a cancer center because they don't accept my insurance. I am seeing physicians at Emory University Hospital here in Atlanta. They did my 1st surgery. They are suppose to be the very best in the south. I sure hope so; I'm depending my life on them.
Again, thank you for all of your support. I will keep you posted on what they say tomorrow about my plan of action.Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. (Just in Case)
