Thanks for sharing Vicki. My surgery is September 10. I am 68 years old and my AN is 3.3 and appears to have cysts attached. Hoping no complications. I don't do well with anesthesia. I have read alot of patient experiences, some positive,some quite negative. I trust that i have 2 of the most experienced surgeons and a strong faith in God. My family is also very supportive. This helps alot.

Rose, I will keep you in my prayers. Just to let you know, my daughter took me to Rehoboth Beach for 3 days earlier this week. I had dizziness everyday, yet walked the outlets, boardwalk, and tried to do like I had done all the other years I went. It was trying but I made the most of it. Still dealing with soreness where incision was made. Swallowing is getting a little better. Sometimes food just doesn't want to go down. Have to take a drink to get it moving. As I think about having the surgery, I'm still glad to have tumor out. Sure life is not like it used to be, but it could be a whole lot worse. I guess if you're going to have a tumor, benign is the best one. No Chemotherapy.Keep your spirits up and remember prayers are going before you.

Good Luck Rose!

Keeping you in prayer for a successful surgery. Keep the Faith. Jesus never fails.
