Although we have the utmost confidence in our surgeon, whose recommendation is radical reconstructive surgery, we felt we owe it to ourselves to get a second opinion, not because we doubt him but more to assure that this is the right way to go. If he agrees, then it's all systems go on November 10th. If he does not, then I'll be very confused and will have a hard decision to make. The appointment is tomorrow (Tuesday).
You may wonder "If the tumor is gone, why surgery?" Good question. Because there may be microscopic cancer cells left behind that are not detectable by any other tests except when sent to pathology during surgery. If the whole area isn't removed, these cells may grow back years later. A chance I wouldn't want to take. Stay tuned.

i'm staying tuned right on you, sending my strongest vibes!
Second opinions are always good to get. When struggling with a health concern, as you are, thank goodness for second opinions.
Prayers are being sent, God's opinion will be the tie breaker.
Thank you God for taking good care of Debbie. Amen.
I love you.
