I am sitting here in the hospital- I am proud to say that I am a "Cancer Survivor!" My surgery was postponed yesterday for a few hours, so we waited for nearly 4 hours. All went well. My Docs were the best! I felt blessed. I have had the best nurses, and PCT's. Docs feel like they got it all! They opened my uterus up after it was safely removed from my body and the cancer had not penetrated the walls. This is a good thing. It pretty much means that it hadnt spread. They took a bunch of lymph nodes out for testing. I am resting now at UVRMC. My pain has not been too bad as I have a catheter pump in my incision that pumps pain meds. I've had lots of visitors and it has been so wonderful to have the support.
Day 3-I am doing well. I do not get to go home for a few days still. Cath is out and IV's are out, and I am up and walking-but still need to be watched closely. Some of the pain meds have not worked for me, so that has to be under control before I get to go anywhere. I miss my kiddo's but realize this is where I need to be. I am so grateful for all the prayers and fasting in our behalf. Our biggest hurdle has been jumped and I will be down for at least 6 weeks. Now we wait for the pathology report. We are hoping the race is over. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Yeah! That sounds like good news so far. I am glad everything went well. Good luck on your recovery :)
Hooray! What good news! You have been in my thoughts and prayers every day.
I ran into Deanne as she & I were both leaving the hospital. (I was having pregnancy related testing.) She mentioned things were looking well for you. I was so glad, of course, but I forgot to ask what room you are in. If you want visitors, please email me

It so was great to see your posts today. Hang in there, and TAKE IT EASY!
