Oh my gosh Chantelle, I'm so very sorry. *HUGS*
After this surgery and treatment will your prognosis improve? Is there an upside to this - catching it now to prevent further damage?
You must be so frightened and stressed. Don't worry about Christmas - it's just a holiday, having you there and getting healthy is way more important than being able to join the mad rush of angry shoppers and rude people in the hustle and bustle
Please keep us posted and feel free to talk or vent when you need to. I pray you get through this feeling better than ever and 2010 turns out to be a wonderful year - even Christmas. Hey you can even have a belated Christmas with your family when you feel better
