Stella’s personal story

The biopsy confirmed his suspicion of cancer. They also believed they had not gotten all the cancer, so I have to go in for further surgery so it doesn't reach the bone. It is right next to my nose and below my right eye.

Being a vain person (I hate to admit), I am concerned about having a big scar, but also more importantly, if they will get all of it this time. Yes, I have been a sun worshipper all my life! I regret it now.

I have done very well, joking and laughing about it and making light of it until the coping mechanism I'd been using (humor) wore off, and I became severely depressed, anxious, and nervous. Fortunately, I have a loving, supportive husband and adult son and many friends.

With much gratitude for your site and warm wishes to all the survivors.

Sincerely, Stella
