Hello Chris!
Thank you so much for letting us know about
Rachel. I haven't personally talked to her, I don't
believe. I'm new here. Glad to hear she is alright!
I hope the results of the conversation with the doctor
will be what you need to hear - that the endo will not
come back. I hope he can guarantee that it won't.
Tell her our prayers are with her. I hope she has
a smooth and fast recovery.
