The Phone Rang Early!

I got the call yesterday around noon.  "The pathology report came back.  No cancer or precancerous cells present."  I knew I was worried, but didn't realize how much until then.  I was crying pretty hard.

I thought I wanted to write an insightful post about how I have been feeling and what I was thinking.  But who wants to read that at this point, right?

I slept so well last night and will enjoy the days leading up to the next scare.  Because, unfortunately, there will be more.

As my very intelligent friend, L,  said, "When this comes back as NO CANCER, you will then know the other side of this waiting.  The first time was cancer, this time no cancer.  Maybe that will help you in the future."  You were right, L.  Thank you, my friend.

So I won't bore you with how I was really scared and tell you about the roads I went down when I couldn't sleep at night.  Instead, I will thank you, once again, for your prayers, support, love, and friendship.

I will end this here.  My boys are calling me to "play, Mommy!"...

Post Surgery

My surgery went well and I was home by 11.  I was banished to the bedroom and I took one of the best naps I have had in awhile.  I woke up to my boys laughing.  Pretty good day considering what the surgery was for and how I have been losing sleep over worrying about the results.

We now get to wait for a week to hear whether this is my new normal or if it is something concerning.

Once again, I have been showered with an outpouring of love.  We have had 3 dinners delivered already.  I have received texts, emails, and phone calls.  And, most importantly, prayers are being said.

Keep them coming and hopefully I will have good news soon!

Surgery

My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday, Feb. 6, at 8:30 am.  It is to take 30 minutes.  We then get to wait a week for the results.

I have been asked what specific prayer I would like said.  "That there is no cancer."

Period.  End of post.
