I was just diagnosed with stage II tc mixed in September and finished my chemo in December. The doctors told me my affected lymph node did shrink quite significantly, just not enough to avoid the RPLND. I've been scowering the net for an honest and relatable experience. While I know every individual experience is different, it helps reading someone's experience and yours has been the best by far. I'm extremely scared of the surgery coming up but I understand that it has to be done. I think the best part of your post was the sense of what is now "normal" Every day I struggle to explain to my family how difficult it is to getting back to what I used to be is for me, but this post describes exactly what I feel and I will share it with them. Thank you so much for the brave and courageous posts you've put up, you've given me more hope and more courage than I had before. Is there any advice you would give to someone like me waiting for the RPLND? I would really appreciate it, perhaps if there's any specific questions I should be asking the surgeons prior to surgery? You can shoot me an email at avelji1@gmail.com I'd really appreciate it. Thanks again and I pray you continue to be clear of cancer and getting stronger and better every day :)A.

No doubt this has had an influence on you such that you now have plenty of things to teach ME about life (not that I did a very good job a decade or two ago). I'm in awe (and horrified) about the journey you've been through, and can only hope that moving forward from here you have little adversity to compare. When you get a chance come see me sometime in Austin, or when you get a chance on weekends in Galveston.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669087888790713584noreply@blogger.com
