Hello,

Sorry to hear that you are having to endure so much recently. I am also in Sales, Real Estate. I am 46 years old, live in Illinois and have had surgery four to six times a month for the last for months or so. That is my normal routine this time of year while business is slower. I am near the end of it now and will take a break untill the fall.

What type of radical surgeries did you have? Was it for Melanoma?

Kind regards,

Bud

Hi I have just joined your group & you can read about me in my journal. I am sorry you went through all this on your own. I have had several Ops & see Consultant every 2 mths. Awaiting major surgery to remove muscles from top of right arm gland under the arm and the muscle on the back. Malignant Melanoma, plus loads of other things, & now they think I may hav Lupus too!! I dont sleep much so tend to do this at night. I am a good listener & have had so much done plus take so many medications, my husband says he wonders a) why I dont rattle and b)its easier to ask what I havent got !!! keep in touch Regards Panchita.
