Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the big day. The countdown began at 21 days til surgery-and now we are at 24 hours. I will have a complete hysterectomy and lymphectomy tomorrow. It's all coming out-including some lymph nodes. Because it is a cancer surgery the incision will be much different. So recovery will be harder. I am finally at peace with the surgery. I know that everything will be ok. We are focusing on the positive in hopes for "clean markers" when pathology comes back after the surgery. I feel blessed because I will have the best doc from the Huntsman Center, and my doc as well. I know I will be in good hands.
I am humbled, as I have the very best family. Both the Preece family and the Scoresby family have shown us so much love and support through this trial. My mama is coming for 10 days to help me-for that I am so grateful. I also have the best friend support in the world. The calls, cards, goodies, flowers just have not stopped. I have friends that make sure I am ok on a daily basis...sometimes several times a day. I so appreciate the support-the love-the friendship etc. It has helped me stay focused on the positive and has helped me to keep things in perspective.
For me, my life has changed. Nothing matters more to me than my family and my friends. I love each person that has touched my life. We have felt the prayers and fasting this past weekend. We love and appreciate each of you. I know that I have a lot to live for and alot to be grateful for. I am tough and I am a fighter! And tomorrow, I will be a cancer survivor!
