The last three weeks have been surreal. After this surgery we be have more results and a clearer treatment plan, but first is chemo (no idea of time frame as yet) 12 months of hercepatin (this is a new one, only found that out today ??) and 4/6 weeks of radiotherapy. Sending you the biggest of hugs as I feel your pain xxxx
