I haven't been here much these days because I've been having some back and knee problems that prevent me from sitting for extended periods at the computer. And the little times that I do feel some pain relief I've actually been out enjoying the world a little bit.
A couple months ago I had to have a minor surgical procedure and they did a biopsy. I got the results of that on Tuesday. It's not so good news :(
I have Grade 1 Endometrium Cancer and need to have a hysterectomy and another biopsy.
The good news in all of this is that I work at a Cancer Care Centre and managed to get an appointment for today to see a Gyne-Oncologist and talk about a date for surgery.
Until they do the surgery and biopsy the tissue, they won't know if it's spread. If it hasn't, then I won't require any further treatment. If it has, it means chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
The bad news is that I see people everyday undergoing treatment for cancer, and thought of my having to go through all of that scares me to death!
So anyway, I'm kind of distracted right now, and really don't feel up to doing much socializing, either on or off the computer, so I thought I'd let you know before I seemingly dropped off the face of the planet for awhile.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
