Hi Bob
Hope your op went ok and that your comfortable, we all know how you feel about it all, but hopefully you will find as I did helpful info on here from all of us who are in the same boat. It is very scary when you first find out and your emotions are all over the place but when you start having treatment things get easier, It helps to have a positive attitude about it all and you will get there.
Take care Carole
