  • Hello bonnie71,

    Just wanted to say you are in our thoughts and we hope everything goes well for you on Thursday.

    I am glad you have a lovely supportive family by your side as it is bound to be a difficult time for you. I hope this forum will bring you comfort and that you will get to talk to other people who have been through the same thing before.

    I hope you recover well from the operation. Do come back and let us know how it went when you get a chance.

    Best wishes,

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

  • Hi bonnie71,

    I can easily understand and relate with how you feel being in the same boat myself.  

    I hope and pray that everything on Thursday will be alright.  

    I know its difficult but sometimes, it really helps to focus more on our blessings, (like having a supportive family and friends, etc.) rather than our fears.

    Let's stay strong and positive!
