Hello my friends, I am way past due for an update. I have felt so well and been living my life that I almost forgot I had cancer! It's been almost 3 years since the original diagnosis and 2 1/2 years since I ended treatment. Of course, I have what is commonly referred to as "scanxiety" every time I have a check up. This recent one with Dr Im was no different. Usually everything looks great with NED...no evidence of disease. I hit what I hope and pray is just a little hiccup. My recent pap smear came back as abnormal. I have a CT scan this week and a COLPOSCOPY on Sat 11/15 where they will take a biopsy if necessary. I am asking for all prayers and positives vibes to be sent my way. I am hoping to be more active on this page to discuss more about general health topics with a focus on Uterine Cancer, which if caught early has 95 % survival rate after 5 years. Sadly, my sister Nancy was stage 4 with metastatic cancer before she was formally diagnosed. How I didn't recognize the very subtle warning signs is still beyond me, but i have forgiven myself. I actually see my cancer diagnosis as a wake up call to other health issues going on and my eventual decision to abstain from drinking alcohol...the best decision of my life. Love you ALL and I am grateful for my friends and family.

Back for my second brachytherapy treatment. The process is quick and not painful at all. Plus, the doctor and technicians are very compassionate and ensure you are comfortable.

Yesterday was a rough day, but I am feeling good today. Not sure if I was fighting a cold or allergies, but I was tired and generally miserable. However, the highlight was a surprise package with two wonderful water colors from the the talented Trisha Heath Schneider. I am blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Hello Friends...Today is the day I meet with Dr. Im and find out what all the things on my pathology report really mean AND what treatment plan he recommends. I am asking for all the prayers and healing vibes, as I face a potentially challenging decision. I am asking for discernment and guidance to know what's best for me given my unique situation. I have been in contact with many Uterine Cancer survivors and appreciate their insight, but at the end of the day, this is my journey. I continue to be grateful for the advances in treatment and great survival odds. I can do this with the amazing love and support of my friends and family.

I am so grateful to you all for your love and support. I received the pathology report from my hysterectomy that was on 2/1. Overall, I am doing well and healing right on schedule. The report indicated I am stage 1B with 60 % invasion into my uterine wall and no serosa involvement. The serosa is the outer layer, so it appears to have been contained in just the uterus. My lymph nodes were fine and there were no signs of metastasis.

Interestingly, the surgeon saw some scar tissue which was not giving me any issues. He cleaned that up as well.

I meet with the surgeon next week on Wed 2/22 to find out next steps. In the meantime, I am trying to research different treatment options. I am hearing from survivors with the same grade that the current protocol for treatment is a small amount of brachytherapy, which is a very targeted radiation with minimal side effects. Of course I won’t be sure until next week.

Although I was hoping for 1A, I am incredibly grateful that this diagnosis still has a 90 % percent survival
rate. I am feeling well and ready to tackle whatever comes my way.

Ladies…please advocate for yourself! This type of cancer is very common, but completely treatable if caught early. I have zero regrets other than not realizing the warning signs earlier.

Thanks again for the continued support and prayers.

About five years ago, my sister knew I was going through a rough time and gave me a beautiful set of prayers, which I have recited faithfully every day. I expanded on them a little but recently I wanted to up my game a bit. I purchased a wonderful daily devotional and started reading on my iPad. Today’s reading is very timely as I wait…I know am not alone.

That’s a wrap on day 7…What a beautiful day! Overall, I am doing great, but the wait for the pathology report is getting real.

I went to visit my functional medicine doctor - Dr Jones, who spent a lot of time helping me understand my CT scan and talk about my recovery and future protocol.

Later, I did a quick grocery trip which was enough to wear me out for the day. Fortunately, I arrived home in time to enjoy the late afternoon sun.

Thanks again for all the messages, phone calls, flowers and other gifts ! You all know how to make a girl feel loved! Please keep praying and sending those positive vibes !

Today is day 5 and I am feeling fantastic! Taking it easy and listening to my doctors … and my body!

I am truly humbled by the wonderful, heartfelt messages of love and support from all of you. It means more than you know. Plus, I am grateful for the flowers, phone calls, and visit from my friend Ann.

My recovery has been relatively easy with the help of modern medicine and my compassionate caregivers. Between the excellent & caring staff at Mercy, my sister Lisa, my Brazilian sister Liane, and nurse maid Mary Dog, I have been well cared for. My mom and sister Pam have also been a great support. My peaceful home with this great view has been a blessing that I didn’t know I needed. And my chair…that’s a story for another day!!!

I am getting stronger every day and just waiting for my next step, which I pray is to continue focusing on being healthy and NO FURTHER treatment. In the meantime, I am praying to God for my complete healing and for those around me who have far greater challenges.

Happy and healing ! My nurse Lisa is the best and we have to give Mary dog a lot of credit too. I am doing well enough to get out of the house for a little while today.
