Michele, I've been praying for you since you posted back in the late winter or spring of your upcoming treatment & can't forget what you are facing. Please know that the day you go into surgery I will be in prayer that the surgeon gets everything they should & that you come through the procedure fine. As far as the follow-up chemo/radiation, I have two friends that both have had return cancer & had to go through the whole thing again. One had very, very bad anemia all along the way, had to have transfusions more than once. One it's been 7 years & she is now hale & hardy again. The other's second bout was 1998 and still going great - moved to Arizona & living the life. Both had grim courses of chemo/radiation but both got through it some how, some way through many, many prayers & lots of excellent medical treatment & family & friend support. I pray God will direct your path & guide you to health & healing through the faith & help He will send your way. Stay with the Word, stay courageous & try to take it day by day. When we are at our weakest, He is at His strongest in our lives.
