November 1, 2012- Cancer Story

Overall I had a good day today. Started the day with Art Therapy, I got an extra hour today to work on my project with Kate. I made a lot of progress working on the display for my cancer story. it turned out better than i ever imagined it could. I really am proud of the work that I have done on this project.

As I lay in the hospital getting ready for my second surgery in seven months, I am overwhelmed with a state of trepidation. Knowing that my world could change from what I know it to be.

As my doctor  enters the room and his calming effect on me, I know that no matter what he can handle this.... wheather I can I'm not sure.

He tells me he is worried and is going to rush the results. Fear replaces all thoughts. Finally my fear was confirmed, you have Endometrial Cancer. I went to find out what's next? My doctor compassionately sat with me answering every question and follow up question. Even though in my heart I already knew what I had to do, the questions were still there.

Knowing i was too young to have a hysterectomy. Many factors challenged my decision.

Because I knew that I had to make the judgement call that would take my choices away. I was to young to have this happen but it was my hope to stop The Cancer, The Blood, The Tears, The Pain.

Today I can say I am Stronger, I am handling it, I made it, I found myself,

I AM CANCER FREE
