Tough to take...

I met with the oncologist this morning for the first time. I was expecting for chemotherapy to come up-but it turned out to be a lot more than that. I will go in for genetic counseling and have some other tests run. There will be 6 months of chemo. I have a lot of questions-but was so overwhelmed today, I didn't think to ask them.
I will also be getting shots for 2 years (to prevent Ovarian cancer) and take meds for 5 years.
The details are a blur to me today-I felt like I was "done" and now this... It's all too much and I'm not sure why this happened...
So, today I feel overwhelmed and sad, but I know all of the treatment is for the good... Just a little tough to take.
So lucky to have the support I do;) hugs

Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming.......

Well, today marks the 18th day from my surgery!  I am getting better, and healing more each and every day.  I am heading back into work this week for a couple hours here and there - just to ease myself back into the swing of things.  I do have to ask myself: Why must Report Cards have to be due the day I am returning to work full time?????  Oh well, there's always got to be something:)
I really wish I could sleep on my side - it's my favorite sleeping position, and I'm just not sleeping well on my back (and my hair is quite the birds nest when I get up!!)  I guess this will happen soon:)
I have an appointment with the Oncologist Thursday, the 10th, to discuss treatment options - I will let you know what we decide.  Chemo may be an option for preventative measures.
I am in love with this time of year - starting to think about the holidays, and of course my baby niece that is coming so soon!!!  My girls talk about that baby being here every day - they are SO excited!!!
We are SO thankful for all of the love and support that continues to come our way - love you all!!!

I'm free!!!

Well, today I got my last 2 tubes out! Those things were hard to deal with! I have an appt. Friday with the surgeon-a follow up. I'm feeling better each day! This experience continues to be pretty amazing...
