I will be thinking of you & will not stop praying for you. You have already been through so much. I wish you a speedy recovery.

And since i am not getting radiation the reconstruction surgeon says he will give them to me.
I leave in a few hours for my PET scan. can't help but worry about what they will find. but whatever they find (if anything) i can handle it.
I must say the more i read on this site and the more i ask questions the better i feel. no one can make me any promises that this is the last surgery i will have or the cancer won't come back, but i feel stronger that i can handle whatever is thrown at me.
I want to thank everyone for reading my posts and responding. it makes me feel part of all of you.
Have a great day Gina
