Welcome to the site. I think that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need to sound off or vent from anger. We are all here to listen and help, if we can, because at some point and time in each of our lives we have been in your situation. Please don't be afraid to ask questions either. No question on this site is silly or dumb. We all have questions we would like other opinions on or answers to. There are so many nice people here that it has helped me get through my fears I had when I was DX'd with DCIS. Good luck in the future.

Unfortunately, she refuses to even try the drinks mentioned. But, not to worry I plan on freezing some in tiny chips and hopefully succeed in fooling her. Today was a bad day for me, moms attitude and refusing to eat and drink is really taking a toll on me already and we have just started. I will do what I can and not let my feelings get the best of me as I need to be strong for both of us. I will keep praying for her and the light to finally turn on in her mind regarding this. Thank you for your suggestions and God Bless you.

Hi again,
Yes, I think that my tumor was a small one. However, my surgeon left for vacation after surgery on me & I was not able to talk to her She never did a follow-up as well.
This was an unusual experience, & I bet you will be just fine. Just ask plenty of questions & make sure that they are answered to your satisfaction.
Stay strong!

Thank you for your kind words and suggestions for ice cream- great idea.!

Hi B B!
I had a GIST removed over a year ago. The surgery itself went well, but the hospital stay & care I got was a total disaster.
I did not have any chemo aftercare, just the surgery.
Right now I think I have a hernia possibly due to the surgery. Something is amiss in that area! But I got thru the GISTjust fine even with the poor aftercare.
Any questions, feel free to ask!
