WOW! What a beautiful day! I feel so sorry for all my cohorts at Centennial trying to control the hormones racing around the halls. You are all in my thoughts and prayers...remember, just ONE MORE WEEK! Paco and I went down to Anschutz yesterday, accompanied by sister Sharon who is here from California, to get pathology results and talk about what's next. I was thrilled that there are no new surprises. For all you scientists all they told me was that I have high grade serous cell cancer...which is fancy talk for ovarian/ peritoneal cancer. The treatment is straightforward and has been experienced by thousands of women before me...6 - 8 sessions of chemo 3 weeks apart. There will be a CT scan after about 9 weeks to see if the cancer is breaking down and I will probably need to have myself "drained" a couple of times (lovely) of the fluids that this type of cancer produces. I meet next Friday with my new oncologist (Kaiser has taken me back into its fold) to discuss all the details. So, there you have it... I'll update after my first chemo!
What about those BUFFS?
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteYou are spot on about those raging hormones in the hallway! Cracking the math whip helps keep them focused! Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and holding you up in my prayers. Stay strong!

Karen, A step forward, well done. We are with you, thinking of you every day. Wish we could pop in for a cuppa tea, a chin wag & give you a great big Ozzie hug !! So consider it done thru the fibre tunnels that cross our globe. Feel the vibrations, hnnnnnnnnnnn !!
