Thank you so much Jeane for your response, I really appreciate it. Time will definitely help in this situation, but right now it's moment to moment. Sometimes keeping up a brave front is easier said than done. I will try and remain optimistic as best as I can.
As for you and your situation you will know when the right time will be for your surgery and which type of surgery you want. I wish you the best of luck as you move forward in your process- it is not easy!!
