Hey Tina,
I hear your fear and I have had lots of it myself. Dan recovered from his tongue surgery and modified neck dissections fairly fast...he was back to work in 5 weeks. He stayed in the hospital all most a week and the next week at home was a bit rough. He was very weak and it was hard. But after that his recovery was quick. When I was so very scared and fearful, I prayed and God did help me. I cried lots and it did affect all other areas of my life...to be expected with such a big thing going on in your life. I am praying for you and your mom.
God bless,
Debbie
