Re: just found out...

Rina,

A long-time male friend of mine now age 62, had total shoulder replacement at age 59. He is doing very well and has been very happy with the surgery. He is a tall guy who played all the major sports in high school years and years ago. I hope all goes well with you. Just wanted to share a success story....but he does not have the cancer part to compare apples to apples. His surgery was a complete success.

Thinking of you,
Catherine
