@ Newbie: I started the process in January - the seminars, all the appointments, group sessions, and then all the medical things I needed to do (mammogram, stuff like that), met with the surgeon on April 29. I could have chosen the end of May for my date, but, family event first week in June, so I chose late June. I'm excited to see all the June folks for surgery, hoping some of us can journey together on our new paths!
