Today's Thoughts
Today had my maectomy. I'm so glad this part is over. Didn't pack till 4am this morning. I'm glad. BuT, I have an unusual observation. When I was being prepped, my surgeon came in and held my hand. He held it for about 5 mins. I didn't know what to think, still don't. Has anyone else experienced this?

Questions updated
Thank you Cath62, iserbrown, Julez1958, AllyJay, Afraser & anyone else who may have submitted a comment to my question. It took me 3 weeks to come to my decision, BUT, then I read your posts of encouragement only 3 hours before my surgeon app. It hit me hard about the hormone blockers, so I've bit the bullet. Will give it…
