Nervous, Anxious, Ready

Nervous about the upcoming week, but, anxious and ready to get it done.  Monday I get my stent.   Then on Thursday July 12, 2012 I will have my Cryoablation surgery done.  It's a new procedure where the cancer cells are frozen, thawed, frozen and thawed again until all cancer cells are dead!  Then the next 2-5 years I will be closely monitored to insure that the cancer doesn't return.  If it does then I will have another surgery done called a "Wedge".   That's a whole different ball game that I hope I don't have to play.  But, if I do then I will.  I know I have a great support system of family and friends that will help me overcome any and every thing that comes my way.  As far as I know as of right now I will not have to undergo any Chemo or Radiation Therapy.  On July 12th I have to spend the night in the hospital, the first time non work related that I am separated from my wife and kids.  My wife will be there early the next morning to wait with me until I get my discharge papers to take me home on July 13, 2012.  I know my family will be happy to have me home as well as I will be happy to be home.
