Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 60 | I see my rad oncologist next week. I hope no rads to be be done. This surgery really kicked my butt. The healing time for this will definitely take a bit longer. Just glad the holidays are here to see all the smiles and not all the frowns. It helps to heal faster that way. Thanks all for asking. I will let you know about the rads. See ya!

I have missed so many days just living life!! Glad to hear you are past your surgery. Also glad to hear you're focusing on the smiles.
Don't discount rads to quickly. You want this stuff gone for good!!
Enjoy the Holidays.
