If I wasn’t the one living my life, I’m not sure I’d believe this was real life. I would have thought my surgery would be the main thing to mention here, but sadly life had other plans. My ex-husband, good friend, and father of my kids, Ryan, passed away in May due to a car accident. It threw our world upside down and life will never be the same. My doctor asked if I wanted to postpone my surgery, but I told her that now more than ever I need to fight aggressively every single thing that I can. So this past Wednesday I went in to have my procedure done. We removed the ovaries and tubes, a polyp on the endometrial lining, and did a d&c to clean it all out. The pain I’ve been experiencing is so bad. It’s mainly just near the incision on my right side of my belly, although it feels more like a deep bruise pain from under the skin. It hurts to move in any way. I’m ok only if I just don’t move. Well that’s hard for me! Haha The operative notes said they had to try multiple times to get in on that side so they expected it to hurt more than usual, but not sure i anticipated this much. 

I have 4 appointments later this week including one with the surgical oncology team to discuss getting an mri. I hope that goes well and that they order it for me so I can have some reassurance of the cancer being gone. 

I’ll write more another time and after my upcoming appointments. Just wanted to let everyone know that surgery is over and that went well. Hopefully I will feel more like myself as the days go on.
