Bruce I know you’re probably scared and as a man you’re taught to be tough. Just know that you need to let it out and lean on your family and friends to help you through. Also yes, prayers and God are truly lifesaving. I didn’t have the surgery, but I did have the experience of being in the “cage” Get your oncologist to prescribe a mild muscle relaxer. I tried a few times without them and I didn’t do well. From experience I know you have quite a battle ahead. Just know that there are a lot of us out there and we’re always with you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. I was scared because of the uncertainty of it all. Maybe I can give you a little bit more insight. Praying 🙏🏼
