Welcome to OCF. There are lots of people who will help you thru your journey. To get the best responses and most individual attention to your questions and posts, try starting a new thread under Introduce yourself. It will be a help too to add in your profile some medical info about your cancer, that would go in your signature.
Do you know what kind of surgery? Are you having chemo and radiation? Are you being treated in a comprehensive cancer center? You have a great nurse if she referred you here.
