Luck is still with me!

Had another CT scan today. I was able to access it on line and it was another good report -- no changes since last scan. I am so blessed! I don't know why I am so lucky, but I'll take it. Thanks to everyone who has said prayers for me, thought about me, or even crossed your fingers for good results. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Another Good Report

I had another CT scan on the 27th of June. There are no changes, woo hoo!!! The doctor is even thinking I'm beating the odds. Cancer is trying to beat me, but I'm trying my best to beat it!! We are celebrating big time.

YES!!!!!

Had the surgery on Feb. 23. Everything went as expected. The pathology report came back and all the cancer was taken out with the uterus. YES!!! I will not have to have any further treatment, no radiation, no chemo. Another serious health scare averted. Today, Monday the 28th I am feeling quite good. I haven't taken any drugs as I don't do well with them. I have been taking Tylenol and that has seemed to help as much as needed. This new procedure, which is called the da Vinci Surgery, is fantastic. It's minimally evasive so I haven't had as much pain as I did with a C-Section (which by the way was 24 years ago yesterday).

THANK YOU EVERYONE for your concern and prayers. Apparently, all have helped. It's not my time to leave this world yet.

Surgery scheduled

Went to the doctor today. Surgery is scheduled for Feb. 23rd. I get to have a robotic surgery - sounds cool huh! The surgeon by remote control to a machine can see inside me in 3D. I get five small incisions and the machine's arms go in and with the surgeon telling it what to do, it cuts out what he wants cut out. I will have my uterus, ovaries, tubes, and curvex taken out - so no chance of getting cancer in any of those places again. He said according to the MRI the cancer is contained in the uterus, but he will also take some lymph nodes out and have them tested to make sure. So even though I am confident that everything will be fine, prayers would still be appreciated. So I am thankful for all those prayers said with my name mentioned. Thank you all for your concern and love.

BEST OF THE BAD NEWS

The MRI showed that the cancer hasn't spread outside the uterine wall yet. I will have a hysterectomy, but haven't got a date yet. I see the surgeon on Monday, the 14th (happy Valentine's Day!) who will schedule the surgery at that time.

More difficult news to deal with.

Last week I found out that I have uterine cancer. At this moment all I know is that I have it. I am going to have an MRI and CT scan to find out more information. As soon as I find out anything, I will update. In any event, I will be having a hysterectomy within the next couple of weeks. So here we go again. I'll say this, my life is never dull.
