I'm recovering nicely from my recent surgery. However, the final pathology report showed that I did indeed have some cancer of the endometrium which had microscopically invaded the cervix. I guess I was one of the 27% percent who would develop cancer from the asplasia. I was so sure I didn't have cancer and would never have it, that these last few days has been very surreal for me. How could I be that wrong? What else am I wrong about?
I'm scheduled to meet with a radiation oncologist on the 13th of July to get a recommendation on whether I'll need radiation or not. I'll bet there is a PET scan or CAT scan in my future before she'll make a decision.
The surgeon said they think they got it all (don't they always think that?) but the cancer does not appear to have spread outside of the uterus.
This is starting to piss me off.

ReplyDeleteI can see why it would piss you off! But I'm expecting you to follow Max's example and be just fine in the long run - and even the short run. I think what you were feeling was that "there is no problem"---and there isn't. It's all gone and was always *going to be* all gone. You've been through a rough time, lots of long term stress, and now it's about getting things back in order and creating a new life for yourself. The old one from long ago was just fine, and the new one will be even better because you are a person who knows how to create happiness in your life and it spreads to those around you. And, no, docs don't always say they think they have got it all. Sometimes they say other things that are *much* worse. So ... work all the pissed feeling out by doing something like scrubbing the tile in the bathroom (that does it for me!) and then go out and buy yourself bunches of flowers and put them in every room of the house! You more than deserve them!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear... wow have I missed a lot. Taking a break from trying to get my vocals synched with Steve Tyler's for my "Jesus got a gun" parody and saw this. Dear lady, may God be with you and strengthen you!
ReplyDeleteAs well it might piss you off. I am pissed off too on your behalf. I cannot find words to reassure you, just offering my caring.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers Cheryl
ReplyDeleteThank you Iggy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jerene.
ReplyDeleteBennett your caring is always appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you Iggy.
ReplyDeleteI guess we've all been going through some things haven't we? Thank you for your blessing.
ReplyDeleteI really, really like this interpretation Jesa! I think you may be right. Perhaps the reason I felt so strongly that I didn't have cancer was that I was really tuning into the fact that it would be taken care of in a timely manner. It was always going to be all right. Yes....I like that a lot.
ReplyDeleteHow did you know the bathroom floor needed scrubbing LOL? Yes best to put that mad energy into something constructive. I do not want to put a lot of focus and energy into things I do not want in my life.
I hope everything turns out ok, just stay positive, I don't know if you remember, but I had cancer too, did chemo for 6 months, and now its gone. So my advice again, is to stay positive, and look forward.
ReplyDeleteSee how much my hair has grown, lol.
Thanks Star. I'm trying to stay positive.
