They had to create a new belly button, and that damn thing took over a year to heal. I don't know what I was thinking. I think the pancreatic surgery is going to be bad, but I have cancer in my spine and two ribs as well. Hopefully as the chemo kills it the pain will diminish. It is more pain than I have ever endured in my life.

Oh damn. I'm so sorry Wiki. Cancer in the bone is incredibly painful; I watched my grandfather's prostate cancer spread all over his body (he chose not to treat it as he was in his 80's when diagnosed). He was in horrific pain. I hope the chemo works, Wiki, in treating it. I'm so very sorry you're having to go through it again.
My T just did implants with lipo-ed fat placed around them. She said those surgeries were easy. I've noticed since we've been hugging with more frequency and longer that they are very firm. They look natural, but don't feel it.
