have received lots of additional correspondence from nurse friends and other survivors. We are pretty sure Dave is going to do the surgery with the lymph node dissection on 9/16 followed by radiation and hopefully not chemo too but we'll see. The info about the tissue sloughing does make sense but you are right-it's a bonus prize not for the faint of heart to swallow no pun intended.
Think Dave is going to e-mail you directly but once again,let me thank you on behalf of both of us for your expedient replies and amazing support. I am hooked on this board and see it as a safe place for us and lots of others.
Best,
Kim
