I feel like everything I post these days are so negative and depressing. I promise I have so many positive experiences but when I have so many Dr's visits etc its hard to post the great things that’s been happening in my life.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I went to the Dr in Houston yesterday and they are 100% sure that it is a low grade cancer. Low grade cancer basically means that it won’t spread throughout my body and it will only attack and attach itself to the local surroundings in my abdomen. I also found out that I will get a prosthetic (sp?) in my abdomen. The Dr said that it would leave an ugly scar and you shouldn’t be able to see the prosthetic but some pl have complained of feeling it. My surgery will take about 1 1/2 hours which isn’t too long. The oncologist is sending me to a local OBGYN to be on call during the surgery, an anesthesiologist, and another specialist to do an ultrasound ...And unfortunately they are all in Houston so that means lots of driving and parking fees! She, my wonderful oncologist Dr Cormier, scheduled my surgery for September 18th which is on a Monday. If the OB thinks the baby is too much of a risk for miscarriage, preterm labor, or abnormalities she may put it off until I am 22 weeks (around the end of Oct) in case that happens they can try to save the baby. To be bluntly honest I have cried and cried and cried and cried and cried. I know that I will be OK but it’s just getting through the whole process.
