As of right now...I go back this week for a post-op appointment. My ob/gyn will then go over my options and treatment plan for the next year. If I remember correctly I will be checked every 3 months for cancer. I should not need chemotherapy. Unless it spreads to other parts and gets into the tissue. I'll know more later this week.

And you liking the hospital....well I bet they had some great nurses there. Me....I hate hospitals. Not a fan lately.

Sheila, I want to thank you for your brave spirit and great ability to remain positive through your struggle. One of my oldest, dearest friend just told me she has cancer so I'm learning how important it is for us to be supportive of each other. Your courage is inspiring! You've taught us all a lot about courage- thank you!

How you doing today Sheila?? Hope you're not doing to bad.

I've had some struggles this week. Landed up back at the hospital and multiple trips to the doctors office. My kidneys aren't working properly and I have an infection somewhere in my body. So I'm on heavy antibiotics and having to have more than the average amount of fluids to flush my kidneys. :roll: I feel like a pregnant lady all over again.

Since my surgery I'm battling with being down in the dumps. I didn't think it would really affect me emotionally. But it has. The part that's bothering me the most is the fact that I now can't ever carry a child. And I know I should be thankful for my two wonderful boys now and I am. And I should be thankful that I am cancer free. And I am. Very much so on both. But I think it's the fact that I am so young and still considered a child bearing age woman. Who knows. Just getting thoughts out.

Thank you all for the PM's and notes on here of encouragement. It means the world.

Thanks! And thank you to you and Brianlux for the cards! It helped lift my spirits last week.

I'm doing good. Got some awesome news this morning. I don't need another surgery. I had a little mishap last week that put me back at the hospital with my surgeon. He had me back on complete bedrest for a few days. And everything worked itself out from doing that. So I'm on my way to recovery and taking things one day at a time.

My moods have been up and down. There are some days that I'm doing great and then there are days that I will cry all day for no apparent reason. But my doctor reassured me that this is completely normal. Thank heavens.

So thank you to you all who have checked in on me and send me cards while I've been down. YOu have no idea how much that all means to me in this transition time.

I know what you mean . That said, I wish I wish I wish my only downside was not being able to have kids. Then again, I'm a guy

You and I are cancer free. That's what's important.

Cancer Free indeed! I'm so thankful for that. For both of us.
