December 1st, 2011

After thinking about what I was going to do I knew the decision that I had to make. I had several factors in play that pushed me to make the decision that I made. To start I knew that I didn't want to end up needing chemo or radiation, I knew that my insurance was changing and I would be paying a large amount of the bill once it changes come the first of the year. I knew that the options I had were limited and in the end I needed to choose the one that would save me, not risk that things get worse.

So I made the decision to to have a Hysterectomy. I made my final appointment with Dr. Kamelle to sit down with him and talk about all of the questions that I had running threw my head. I had pages of questions written down and I wanted to be a prepared for the appointment as I possibly could. I brought my grandmother with me so that there would be another set of ears and someone to ask questions in addition to mine in case there was something that I didn't think of.

The morning of December 1st, 2011 i walked in to Dr. Kamelle's office for my 8am appointment. He sat there and answered all of my questions and even the follow up questions that he knew I would have to the information that he was giving me. He did everything he possibly could to comfort me and give me the information that I needed to make this major health decision at the young age of 27.

The surgery was scheduled that same day for December 6th, 2011. I had yet again very little time to get things prepared in life and with my job.

Friday December 2nd was dedicated with making sure that every single test I needed prior to surgery was done. Chest x-ray, EKG, Blood Work, Urine test, and getting things ready for my surgery preparation for Monday.
