Sorry to see you join the club that no-one really wanted to join :( As the girls have said - ask away any question & we'll do our best to answer them honestly & help you thru this.
My surgery was 2 years ago ... so still very fresh to mind. Just the diagnosis mucks with your brain!! Once you've had your surgery, it WILL actually feel better almost immediately, knowing that it is OUT!
I believe there's usually 3-4 weeks (maybe more) after surgery before chemo (I dodged that bullet & went straight to Rads.)
Whereabouts do you live? City/Town? Others may know of services there that they can point you to ..... you can add it to your profile!! ;) @Mazbeth - you too! ;) Some towns have pamper days for those having chemo ....
Sorry to hear of your buddy's eye cancer! :( Yep - those who've been thru it, know only too well, how much it affects us. All the best for both of you xx
