Re: new development surgery on Saturday
Merry Christmas. I have an appointment to see my onc on Jan 3. I have been dealing with an enlarged, painful lymph node under my chin. My husband has bronchitis and I am really trying to convince myself that I probably have the same infection in my body but......I am really freaking out. I know I am acting really stuped and there is probably nothing wrong with me but....Why am I acting like this? It is so hard to be a cancer patient!!! I really have been strong but something is telling me this might not be ok. I have been a strong, positve IBC patient and I seem to be falling a part. Please pray for me. Thankyou. Mary L
