Amen Dadmo! We haven't felt alone since joining this wonderful forum.
I've spoken with Dianne (Mom) a few times and Brian has been corresponding
with a couple of the guys who've gone through the surgery and he's
getting a lot of addtional support from them.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your words of encouragement! I've received support
messages from your mother too and hope to chat with her today.
Hi Mary Ellen,
So glad to hear all these positive stories about the surgery. Thanks
for the encouragement.
If you all get a moment, please take a look at Brian's post #89 (BREwing)
in the Livestrong Challange thread under News and Announcements.
You'll see a photo of my beautiful grandsons!!

RPLND on Friday!!!
Well everyone, my RPLND surgery is going be done this Friday, May 12th!!! Still not 100% sure about the time, but I spoke to another doctor out of the surgeon's office and he was leaning towards 11:15 in the morning. All of us are very excited that its taking place so quickly, and very nervous as well
!!! We met with Dr. Malkowicz from the Hospital at the University of Penn (HUP) and are very confident that everything will work out fine. Thanks again for everyone's support and either myself or my mom (DianeE) will keep you upto date with my recovery!!!
