Hi Tabitha, I am 28 with 2 children (3months & 21 months). I just wanted let you know that your message was really important. I had surgery 4/29 and it is now 5/9 and I feel pretty good. I am preparing for my scan and raidiation. I wish you the best of luck. My advice is to keep smiling. I noticed that whenever I had a smile on my face while I was in the hospital, people treated me with such normalcy . . . and it made me feel so much better!
