Toni,
Hi Toni,
Thank you for your email. I am a bit scared this time around as the last
laparotomy nearly killed me. It scared the whole family and now I am
scheduled for another on the 3rd of June. Once again to put Seraphilm in.
It is good to know that there are other people out there who have the same
problem and go through the same sensations, feelings, apprehensions and
fustrations. I thank you for thinking of me and you will be in my thoughts
always
Regards,
Lynette
