Barb,

The brain surgery you had last year found only scar tissue. Let's hope that's what they are going to find this time also. Take it easy and take care.

Re: Hello-update
 

Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You are an inspiration!

I was so glad to see your post Barb, I was wondering how things were going. I am sorry you will have to have surgery.They can have success with that. I am sending up prayers. Love and Hugs, Alice

Barb,

I relate to what you're saying. The idea of brain surgery was also very scary to me. I remember going into the operating room in the early am thinking, I don't believe this is happening.

But, as it turned out, out of of three major advanced bc surgeries I've had (which includes the two lung surgeries), the brain surgery was the easiest.

I had the least discomfort. The decadron for five weeks really started to bother me, but then discomfort from that went away after weening off the steroid.

You're in my prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

Hugs,

Joan

Barb,

You may not feel like it today, but you are strong and brave. Of course we wish you luck, but you have already done so much to create your own luck. Your will to live has brought you to this decision, and will bring you through the surgery.

Imagine, bringing your laptop along to check in. That is remarkable, isn't it!

In the meantime, I know it might be cold in 'Christmas' as well as in Chicago so I'm wrapping you in layers and layers of warm prayers.

Much love
Chris

Thanks so much for checking in. I was thinking about how you were doing.

Also - an fyi, I have seen Joan M since her surgery (twice) and she looks wonderful and so will you!

Big hugs to you.
