Hi Kathy. Glad to meet you, sorry we're meeting here.
Forgive me for being late in my welcome, the holidays and all. Case in point, I had CK at Stanford about 6 weeks ago and nothing got in the way of Thanksgiving. In fact, I had even more about which to be thankful.
To respond to your question about help after surgery: since I had radiation, no help was needed. My wife insisted I hang around at home for a few days, but I was playing handball by the second week. As for telling my family, I think the important part was to tell them, with emphasis, that it's typically benign. I followed that with the facts regarding my particular alien. The response was overwhelming support - and advice
.
You've come to the right place for support - and advice, because no one really understands like we who are going there, or who have been there (and done that
).
Mark
