Hello, welcome to the group. my case was not surgery but cancer in the lung, my case started out with brain tumor that was also cancerous. now cancer free which makes no sense to me but with the radiation and chemo, 2 treatments only, they say I am cancer free. but have to get checked every 3- 4- 6 months and still cancer free. with the equipment they have improved, i am finally after months of worry, but each scan says no cancer I'm more on their side now. tests keep coming back clean is all I care about. ill send a prayer for you. have a blessed day. my next check is the end of Dec. Have a blessed day. 96
