Hi all,

First, I wanted to tank all of you for answering my questions. The info has been very helpful. Surgery is 6/29 and I'm getting pretty bervous. Today was our last day of school and tomorrow is my last day. I resigned  teaching position for now. I've had a hard year health wise and want to rest for awhile. 

I do have one question since you all have been through it. I'm curious how long you had to wait until the ok for libido fun was able to resume? Thanks again for all the info.

    about

    It took me about 11 months to get back to "myself", but I also waited 4 months between finding the mass and surgery.    

    I will say this, I have a much better apperception of life than I did before, and it makes me happy, really happy.

    Good luck!

    Just remember...

    Heyker, Like you, I'm on the front end of this sugery thing. 

    Do remember, however, there are many different ways to go about having fun.  Not all require a note from your doctor. This might even be an excellent time to do a little research.

    A great question for a follow up appointment with your physician (the "how long" vs the "research" but who knows, maybe there's a recommended book?)

    May I suggest

    Very gentle research after a respectful pause?
