They pick up ALL the germs... Wash your hands a lot ;) I understand your fear...I've had a few surgeries and I've always had trouble coming out of that dark sleep... with nausea hitting me had when I do.. (they have to give me something to wake me up every time) I feel for you, but you're strong! You succumb now and then, but you'll get back to fight the Bastard Cancer till its gone.

Never waking up - I fight it - more than i ever did chemo or bone marrow tests or anything else. I journaled my journey, I wish I had had a way with words as you do, you echo my fears in a way I could never articulate. Somehow you being able to do that appears to be half the battle of over mind and matter. Speaking the unspoken. Good luck with the prep time for surgery! you have my core fear!

The group I do the Cancer walk with sometimes is called "Kick Cancer's Butt" and it's mostly delightfully stubborn older women who are kick-ass fundraisers. I like the Fuck Cancer approach.
