Re: say a little prayer

Sassy,

I just saw this thread and am so glad everything turned out ok. I was thinking when I read the first post that usually cancer lumps don't move around, and yours did, then I saw your last post and it was all benign!!

I had my ovaries out Feb. 2008 due to a large benign cyst. Unless you are having them out by laparoscopy (I didn't) it's kind of an owie operation.

When are you scheduled for this surgery?

May I ask what Lupron is? Is that for aches & pains?

Dianne
