Procedure or Surgery (Lymph node biopsy): The needles in the neck were extremely painful. I am still sore several days later. Hopefully I will get good results within the next few days.

Celebration (The Dr. did a test on the tumor/eye that waas removed. The results say that there is a 98% chance that the cancer will NOT return elsewhere in my body. I just need to get through this biopsy and I feel like I will be able to breathe again.)

Procedure or Surgery (Surgery): I had my eye enucleanated. Physically I feel less pain every day, but emotionally, it's very hard to look at myself in the mirror. I think I need to get some kind of counseling.
