Thank you for your story. I’ve been repeating “own it” in my head since reading this yesterday because it has great value to me. I’ve got great support at home but there’s nothing like hearing from those that have lived it.

@ridersup Yeah, I'm still living it 🙂 But, there is nothing like hearing the news that the cancer has been removed and you have no detectable spread.

I've also made so much progress since surgery...so incredibly grateful for all of the good support on this forum. Lots of good souls hang out here.

On my surgery day, my procedure was delayed by an earlier surgery. I had run off to the restroom dragging my IV pole in my hospital gown. While I was away, the surgeon showed up to talk with me and the family. I came rolling back in and joked that I had tried to make an escape....we laughed about it. After that, they fed a little sedative into my line and I woke up in recovery, but I actually don't remember that too much either.

Recovery takes some time...but we're all here for you. You got this.

So, the surgery part is cake because you you're out the whole time. You got this.
