Good Morning Kate!
Sounds so very space age...the incredible things that they can do to our bodies these days! I think it is scary to think about anything being done to our brain, but they are so amazing today and can kill those little suckers that cause us so much trouble and leave our much needed "daily use" cells alone.
Kate, this may be a real busy week of anxiety for you, but I'd bet money that it will bless the cootee (how in the world do you spell that?) out of every single person who gets to spend time with you!
God bless you and may each procedure bring you closer to your goal of NED and peace of mind.
Much love,
ma
