Hi Stan. I want to chime in with my support and encouragement with the others! I am sorry you are having to deal with all this. Cancer sucks. No way around that one but I will tell you that the surgery I had was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. It is different than yours but nonetheless I think many times what we imagine is harder than it turns out. I am glad you have a good support system. That will make it smoother for sure!! Good luck and keep us posted!! Denise
