Good news Vandie!! I hope all goes well. When is the surgery? Do they adjust your immunosuppressants to aid in healing? It sounds ideal to have only one surgery, but I know you'll do whatever it takes to have the greatest success. Best wishes!

Vandie I'm sorry to hear the diagnosis, I had hoped it would turn out to be nothing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope for a quick and positive result to your surgery.

Vandie,  my sister in law said when she had a double mastectomy, that "they are attached to me, I am not attached to them!"   They caught hers early also, no chemo no radiation and she is doing great.  It is a process but you live with such grace and style, you will handle this like all the other bumps in your road.    I'll keep saying lots of healing prayers.   Love you!!!   :cuddle;

Many hugs and healing thoughts coming to you. Remember that you are defined by who you are in the inside. The rest is window dressing.

Keep your good spirit.
