    Where is it? If I may ask. :oops:

    That is fine. It's cervial and ovarian cancer. If Imalive can talk about a cancer ridden pooper and no one be squeemish about it then I have no problem talking about my cancer ridden ovaries and cervix.

    Surgery date has been set for Sept 16th.

    I just didn't want to embarrass you. I am already sending you lots of healing love and light. xo

    Oh gosh no! don't be silly. I figure it this way....If I can undergo brain surgery and have a 50/50 chance of coming off the table alive....why not be open about this? This might help and encourage another woman that it is ok to talk and share about this. That it happens to others and that she doesn't have to go through it alone.

    Wow, Sheila. I am sorry to hear this, but relieved that it was caught so early.

    We will raise a glass (or many) together next weekend, and put you in the proper frame of mind for the rest of September.

    stay strong Sheila, my thoughts are with you

    see ya next week :D
  • Could you please share what symptoms you were having?

    --and think of it this way:

    if the doctors were VERY concerned, they would insist on operating right away, not pushing it back 3 weeks!

    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.
    Wow..
    This one floored me.....

    Im sorry to hear this Sheila...

    Thank you everyone!I'm handling this all better than I thought I would. Maybe it's because I have my boys birthday party today to tend to and keep me busy. Who knows.
    Either way...I'm winning this battle!

    The hardest part is telling my family. Some are shocked...some are "oh its just cancer, it happens to everyone"...and some are " oh ok....I gotta go finish cooking". So I'm keeping it to my circle that I want to know. And that is you wonderful folks here and my immediate family.

    So thank you all for your love and support and prayers and encouraging messages. Some of you....I'll see you next week and we WILL raise a glass or many. :mrgreen:

    oh my sheila... :(
    hugs to you!
    be strong and i hope you have an awesome time at the shows.
    much love.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Best wishes to you.

    There is way too much challenging stuff going around this year.

    I am glad that PJ20 is happening as a brief refrain from the real world!

    Hopefully we can put our ailments, predicaments, worries and concerns on hold as best we can until after PJ20!

    We got you! We will all be here for all the support and love a bunch of crazies can dole out!

    It has to be hard telling the loved ones, and their responses are as varied as their personalities, but dont think that anyone is just dismissing it as "its just cancer". Some of us, and them, have never had to have that conversation before, and it is a defensive reaction. They all care, and so do we.

    be strong

    So very sad to hear, but so glad it was caught early enough for surgery! That makes all the difference. Stay strong! :) Big hugs and best wishes your way for sure and also hope to see you at PJ20!

  • Good thoughts to you, girl...scary shit, but you seem like a strong woman and I know you will be OK.

    PJ20 is going to be fabulous for your heart and mindset.

    stay strong and the very best luck to you!!!!
