Thank you all! We did it! Shirley's operation went very well. She has a new skin graft on her nose and we believe she is cancer free. All that's left is some healing. I can't say that I'm religious myself, I don't align myself with any of the established religious institutions, but I am strongly spiritual, if that makes any sense. I do believe that all of your thoughts/prayers/positive vibes has helped us out during this experience. Thank you all again, you're the best!
