I would love to stay in touch with you as well. I too am concerned about the quality of my life afterwards. I did speak to one woman who had surgery 5 years ago and is doing well. I am unable to have anymore radiation treatment. I had radiation and chemotherapy a year ago with good results for 1 year. With reoccurring cancer this is the best choice, surgery to get clear margins and then chemotherapy. I would like to get back into remission. I recognize recovery will be difficult. Having been a nurse some of the healthcare I will experience is not unfamiliar and feel like it has helped me to make the decision for surgery. I’m grateful I have some options to keep fight my cancer.
