Many thanks for the prayer, thoughts and support. Really appreciate it.
And Sunflower it was super nice of you to pop in. Do so anytime!
I’m doing better now...not excellent...but not falling apart anymore either. Getting used to the state of my situation after a real gut punch. Bouts of anxiety overwhelm me at times....what if’s, you know. But I’m trying to live in the moment and just wait to hear how bad it’s gonna be. I’m not hopeful at all it’s benign after hearing the radiologist and seeing the report. I’m hoping it’s not an aggressive cancer at this point and that it hasn’t spread. Survival rate is actually very high if it isn’t in the lymph nodes and the ultra sound didn’t find it there. Still, surgery is the only way to take a good sample of the nodes and test.
Working hard to stay calm and peaceful. Right now, as Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part. Waiting for the biopsy, waiting for the surgical appointment, waiting for the surgery, waiting for the surgery results....only after all that waiting will I know what I’m dealing with. I just wish these tumors were not in my body growing during all this waiting. I don’t get why docs think that is ok.
Oct 1 is my new health plan then Lillian is done waiting around. I’m looking for the best cancer specialist in town and then we are going to kick ass.
Ok so that’s healthy to write this down. I’ll try not to keep on this topic all the time.
On the upside...I feel very done with drinking and eating unhealthy foods. That may be a little of the “other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?” and a little of closing the barn doors after the cows got out....but a little good news never hurts.
It’s time to get strong for a fight. So I’m gonna focus on that.
Love you guys and thank you again for all the support.
I will visit that thread Dee, thank you.
