I doubt you'll miss the appendages (Martha might, however).<br /><br />Go with your heart and your gut on all those other decisions, but don't rule out your daughters. I believe that telling them and giving them the opportunity to HELP you will relieve their anxiety, give them something concrete to do for you, and let them know that you ehttp://plufrompdx.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-10283771707096888792011-11-19T09:28:00.285-05:002011-11-19T09:28:00.285-05:00you'll get through this. find your strength.you'll get through this. find your strength.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511412915776745826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-56518971374269136822011-11-18T23:18:08.748-05:002011-11-18T23:18:08.748-05:00I wish we were closer, rather than on opposite coa...I wish we were closer, rather than on opposite coasts.

I am certain Martha is scared out of her mind - these kinds of things bring up BIG issues for lots of people and I'm sure she's not any different.

Big internet hugs and hopes that your vision with your family works out--be sure to ask for what you want b/c sounds like Martha doesn't have a game plan and hey, she's a coach and will understand better when there is a game plan.<br /><br />I so admire that you are writing about the big c and I'd do the dbl mast. too--probably would opt for it now if someone would offer. angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451988954537329260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-80269874066460096592011-11-18T13:57:05.127-05:002011-11-18T13:57:05.127-05:00I am so sorry you have to deal with this.

I had another friend who made that choice and I think she, too, was really relieved at being freed from the fear of recurrence.
