Cancer Update 1

Okay, folks.

John and I went to the oncology appointment today. After a quick exam, he met with us and here are the basics of what we know right now:

I have Endometrial Cancer, and he still thinks it's contained in my uterus. The CT scan and his exam leads him to believe that it probably hasn't migrated anywhere else yet! This is great news!! :)

Although he would not commit to any kind of a stage diagnosis yet, he seems to think that we may have a good chance of not having to do much or any radiation or chemo.

Next Friday, July 6th, I will have a complete hysterectomy. I'll probably be in the hospital for about a week afterward. Once the entire surgical team feels that I am out of the woods as far as infection and other similar possible complications, I'll go home and take about 6 weeks to recover.

Those are the basics! John and I are completely wiped out. As you know, it's been a pretty tough week! So this is all I've got tonight! I just wanted to make sure that anybody who follows this blog got the information as quickly as I could possibly get it to you! Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes!! :) I'm really sorry that I didn't put the energy into the entertainment component that I normally do...I bet I'll be more up to that tomorrow or the next day, so stay tuned!! :) 

By the way, if I forget to tell you about the sculpture outside my oncologist's office, please be sure to remind me! Who would ever have thought anything about cancer could be hilarious...but this story is!!!!!! :) Love to all. Goodnight!
