Guest guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Kat Wow...I had to read the post a few times to make sure I got it right. So does doing the lumpectomy mean that you will be ok? How does this change your plans for the future and what about work? Ok...too many questions but I know how worried you've been in the past about work and missing time so now I'm worried on your behalf. I just hope that this will do what it's supposed to do and that everything will turn out fine after all is said and done!!!!!! > as usual I am distracted from the group with life. If I missed > anything any of you said to me please let me apologize. I am > struggling in life right now to balance so many aspects of it out, I just simply don't have enough of a day to accomplish it all. Please email me if you need anything.. > >> Love, > Katharine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
