Sounds like the best of bad news. Best of luck in the new year - I'm sure you still have all our thoughts, prayers & other good energy. Glad you're back!

The surgery is now 2 weeks ago, and I am recovering. I'm sure all those good energies helped! It wasn't breast cancer, it was a cancer of the kidney. But given the diagnosis, the news are relatively good. The tumor was well contained and hasn't spread anywhere. I have a good prognosis, and they say I won't need chemotherapy. I was fit and healthy up to the operation, which is obviously the best thing to possibly be when about to have major surgery done, I am recovering really well. Right now, I don't have even pain any more, just a scar straight down the middle of my tummy from the breasts to the belly button. I get tired quickly, but other than that, I am fine. So... I'm back online! I wish a happy new year to all of you! Love, B -_- . M -_- .
