I've been away from the computer for a bit so I'm just catching up now. Hang in there. Before you know it your surgery will be done and all you'll have to worry about is which cute nurse you'd like to give you a sponge bath.... It's great it hasn't made it into your lymph system. My mom had her lymphs removed when she had breast cancer. She's been fine since, she just has to be a little bit more careful of cuts on that arm, it takes longer for them to heal and they have a higher chance of getting infected, but it hasn't slowed her down at all. Sounds like the doctor is confident the others are benign....YAH YAH!!! but I don't blame you for being safe. My friend asked after you when I saw her the other day, she also sends her best wishes. {{{{HUGS}}}
