I totally agree with you that if you keep busy and try and do normal things you don't have time to think about the surgery. My primary tumour was removed when I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago. It takes about the same time to recover as having a C section. When you get home, really take it easy and anyone who offers to do anything just say yes please. You will feel very tired and you must rest when your body tells you to. Good luck, I will be thinking of you. Let me know how you are getting on. Keep thinking positive thoughts, I tell myself constantly that I am going to beat this.
