Re: Mary's Latest

Dear Mary,

I also had a lipoma removed (from my arm on the MRM side)
and sweated
out the time from surgery until the the path report came
back.
Fortunately, in my case, the surgeon was pretty sure it was
harmless
even before he did the surgery.  I can't tell you how many
times I've
heard a doc say, "Well, normally we'd just watch this,
but with YOUR
medical history, we need to  . . . . "

I hope all goes well with the radiation.  I'll keep you,
your family,
and your medical team in my prayers.
