Lee,
Yes, time does put things into perspective. I know how disappointed Colleen must have been when she found out that she would have to have additional surgery. However, she is indeed fortunate that this was discovered and she has options. Once it is over, you and Colleen will be able to breathe easier knowing that nothing has been left behind for chance. Great news on how well that nasty chemo worked. Let us know what she decides.
All my best to you both,
