THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO AN UPDATE REMINDER IN 2016 SO THERE IS NO UPDATE.

My cancer started 15 years ago this is the second time I have had it. The first time that I got it and had it removed back in 2000 I thought my worries were over until about 6 months ago I found out that it came back. Now I ask myself if surgery didn't take care of it the first time, what is there to say it will take care of it this time, so I do have doubts about doing surgery a second time. But that is the only choice I have right now because I won't do chemo or radiation because that makes you sicker that what the cancer does. I'm doing surgery again because I have something to live for now - my wonderful family - something I never had before. They are very supportive and very concerned so I am doing this second suergry for them so they dont lose me. I need plenty of prayer though because now I even worry if my heart will stand up to this surgery or not. Yes its a simple one but then too, it's not. From what the doctors say, I'm only in stage one.
