I hope so too ....That is why I didnt do rad ..That and the fact I as scared to death of it ..I was so torn .. But I think Kowing I could only do it once was the deciding factor for me . My Nodes were clear and It wasnt going to lessen my chances of it coming back by enough for me to do it . I decided to save it in case in came back ..kinda like my ace in the hole ..

I had that choice...Not an easy one..I still question it daily and at times daily I am thankful I made the decision I did , so If I am faced with it again I dont have to go through the what if's.

My heat goes out to you ..I can't even imagine what you are truley going through ..I dont think I have ever recovered from hearing the words the 1st time. You would think we would be able to handle it the 2nd time as we know what to expect , but I think they would sting more then the 1st.

I do know that I think and speak of you daily and everyone I speak to sends their thoughts and prayers to you . I can only hope and pray with you that it is contained. Surgery can work wonders we have to remember that alot of us can atest to that .I am still here and healthy 9 months later and that isnt very long and sure as H*%*# ISNT Long enough for me ...but I am here and cancer free right now ..

I do believe that only the strongest people get cancer...even though we ourselves don't see it , but I have said before I have never met a stronger or more humble group of people, a group a people that I am more then honored to call my friends, My extended family . My heart is with you Carol and please know I am thinking and praying for you all the way !!
