Like they couldn't have called and said everything looks great...See ya next year. NOPE!! Not this time. My doctor himself called and broke the news. And my doctor never calls me personally. Usually I get to talk to the amazing nurses in his office. Instead I get a personalized phone call from him, on his day off mind you, to come into the office right away. So there I go darting up to the hospital where his office is. And WHAM-O!!! You have cancer Sheila! WTF?!?!?!
So...next week can not come quick enough. So I can unwind, have a glass of wine, and have a great weekend listening to my favorite band with some pretty amazing people.

End ranting and crying. thanks for listening.

    Having received a similar call from a doctor I know what it feels like....like a punch in the gut.
    Hopefully its caught early and treatable as many are these days. Thoughts are with you.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Thanks everyone. I'm trying to stay as positive and upbeat as I can. My doctor caught it in time. He's a pretty amazing guy. They say with cervical and ovarian cancer these days it's pretty much a sure thing to catch it early. In which case they did for me. So after PJ20 I'll have it taken care of and hopefully be on the mends to recovery.

    I can not stress enough to you wonderful and amazing ladies. Get your yearly exams and if you feel something is wrong PUSH FOR THE TESTING THAT IS NEEDED!!! It is your body and no one knows your body better than YOU!

    Hopefully when you have the sit down with the doc he can give you some positive news about what's happening. At least you got checked out instead of leaving it to chance.

    wishing you the best shelia...enjoy PJ20 and think about good things.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    That sounds good if they are able to remove it by operation only, and no other treatment is necessary..(?)

    I don't know how I missed that in the original post, I guess after I read that he called I zoned out.

    Best wishes with the procedure and recovery!
