Hello!
I feel so much better upon reading this. I feel the love and concern. My surgery is on Monday, June 22 at Englewood Hospital at 3:15 pm. My wound is not healing and causing me a lot of pain. I hope this surgery will help with my pains.
Thank you so much for the love. I love my Her2 family!!!

Hugs,
Gemma
