        HI JILL,

        Just saw your post after I just posted mine. I think that's an absolutely great thing to give others that suffer from this horrible thing. You have put the thought in my head that maybe I would like to help in anyway I could to this research.

            Hi Nicki,

            I just saw your posting and can't believe I found someone with the same situation as me. I thought I was a lost soul in this cancer but you have given me a new word to my scar, "Crater" , and mine is sunken and totally bald, like the eagle….I was told don't be alarmed if it "sheds", what is that all about….I've already had some problems with areas of the surgery. I have  absolutely no feeling in this area, wonder if you have the same. I also have no feeling behind my ear and lower neck where they took the nodes. My surgery was done in Nov of 2010. Should I be watching for any additional signs in this area of no feeling and shininess…Thanks  truwill
