Thanks for the update! I'm so excited for you that I am crying right now that you have no other mets. I hope the surgery and recovery are both minimal. I'll be praying for the doctors and caregivers who'll be looking after you.

Sounds funny to say Great News to having another operation but in this case I guess it's the right thing to say. Keep your spirits up and positive thoughts flowing - I'll be pulling for you all the way and my prayers, along with everyone else, will be loud and clear!

Lynn I pray your lung mets all will all disappear without surgery. I think of you often and I know how tough it must be and you are so supportive to everyone including me. I'm pulling for you.
I just got an email from my friend Jen, that I met from this very site and she is coming to Vegas with me! Both of us had tongue cancer at the same time last year. It's something to look forward to so I'll have a quick recovery.
I think it was Ed that said it is just another walk in the park.

That was my "walk in park", we seem to use that term quite a bit on here. I had the surgery 5/6/04 and it was not bad at all. I was only in for 2 nights. Mine was video assisted and I ended up with 4 small incisions, one of which was for node biopsies. I may be looking at more invasive surgery for the other lung, but this one was easy. Oh, I too felt luck when they told me I could have surgery. Surgery, good news, go figure!
Good luck,

I'm sorry, I should have looked back on the post. I want to Thank you because that little remark as helped me make it through the last few weeks. I think my surgery is going to be more intense than you mentioned, but it will still be a "walk in the park".
I have everyone here praying for me so surgery will be successful and I will hear about those Clean Margins!

Hoping the surgery goes well and you are back posting in no time.
Looking forward to seeing you in Vegas!!
