Surgery during covid19 First topic

[moonscape]

16. Everyone has an anecdotal cancer story, but here's mine:

A good friend was dx'ed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, had surgery and that was 17 years ago. She's thriving.

This changes nothing about general odds, but only to say that the one thing I have learned through my own cancer journey is that percentages mean little when it comes to our own lives and paths. I've been on the wrong end of odds a lot, but also on the right one. I can think of many times my odds of something were <1% yet that's exactly where I found myself, and also the reverse.

I'm very sorry you are having to go through this during a time your husband can't be there with you. It's heartbreaking, though I know you'll feel him close and know that he's there.

All the best. Lots of crossed fingers out here for you.
