Hello dear readers: well, on to a new phase! Apparently Chemo has reduced active C enough to clean out unwanted baggage! The MRI showed additional reduction of active cancer, and no indication of interference with the bladder, so surgery is the word of the day. The surgeon who specializes in gynecological surgery for oncology patients is recommending a total hysterical sweep out, I mean hysterectomy - all intended to buy time. Hey, do I need this plumbing?? Hello!!
While surgery is always a bit daunting, I look forward to time out of chemo, and a return to somewhat normalcy after this year of chemicals. After six months of weekly drip, I'll actually miss my fabulous chemo team, especially June, my always cheery chemo nurse, Zulmira and the CNA crew who always provided comfort and snacks, and CI, the endlessly patient intake clerk who handles the endless paperwork as we stream through.
So, I'll be laid up a bit, then on the mend - and on with living each day! Stay tuned for updates - xx
yikes.

Good to hear that your hopes re the MRI proved to come true. Yahoo! Will you tell us when the surgery date is, when you know, so we can send healing thoughts, prayers and love your way?
ReplyDeleteHoping to see you sometime this summer when you'll, hopefully, be in remission. :-)
