The good news....
The cancer has not spread. It is contained in the uterus.
Okay, so yesterday, Jason and I had to get see Dr. Fiegen. Or as I choose to call him Dr. I don't like giving bad news. I wish I could shorten that up a bit. How about Dr Yes. ( doesn't like to tell his patients no). Dr Yes, of course told us the great news that the cancer had not spread and all was wonderful in the world. Jason was so relieved and it was great! (for him anyway). He doesn't have to have a hysterectomy and what ever other treatment the oncologist decides. I was just trying to deal with cancer and now, I realized I have to start dealing with a hysterectomy. I didn't think this would be hard but, it is a lot harder then I thought.
I am 35 and had one terribly hard pregnancy. I have never in my life had a "normal" period. My uterus is just not up to par. I suppose getting rid of it is good. At this point I don't have a choice. It is just something I have to get used to but, I was trying so hard to deal with one idea I completely forgot to think about anything else. Will I still be attractive to my husband? Will I still enjoy sex with my husband? I have lots of those questions. I am sorry if you don't want to read some of these things but, these are things I wonder. And I guess that is why I started the blog.
Okay, so the bad news.
We have to wait until the 18th of April to see the OBGYN/Oncologist. Of all the times of year, she decides that this is the time to take a two week long vacation. LOL. I guess I just have bad timing. Chalk it up to bad luck. So, anyone know any good books or anything to pass my time for the next 10 days. I will need help, seriously!!! We have become such and instant gratification society that I have fallen into that trap... I have a problem, I want an answer and a quick fix. Well, I guess this is life's way of telling me not everything is a quick fix.
So, to stopping and smelling the roses so to speak!
Have a great day everyone!

Well I guess any good news is GREAT news! My advice on passing the time... stock up on your favorite televison series on DVD. If you need anything Chelley I'm here for you, just let me know.
Love ya,
Cousin Ang
I am very glad as everyone else it's isolated to one area...it, I can't quite say the 'c' word yet... I am working on it.
Your one of the strongest people I know, and you have a great family to help you out. Lucky for you, Jason is such a great man.
Your going to have to let us know if there's anything we can do. The girls are always welcome for a night in Laurens, or anything you need what-so-ever.
Remember your not alone Chelley, you are super woman but we all have a breaking point of what we can handle. One day at a time....
I'm a total believer in "One day at a time". And, there are even times that I can only deal with one hour at a time. But, I think you have to celebrate your little victories over this madness! A victory for you and for all of us...the damn stuff is sticking to the uterus. So, easy for all of us to say, "Just get rid of the uterus!" How hard can that be?
But, now we are seeing a whole different side...concerns about feminity.
We are just at the beginning of all this. Please feel free to write down all the feelings. This blog is for you to write what you are going through. I think your husband will love you no matter if you have a uterus or you don't. Look at you......you are totally a woman...no mistaking that fact!
Mom
dude-how can I top those other comments? My razor is ready, socks are on order....let's go!
Chelley,
I will follow, walk beside, support you on your journey - whatever you need.
I wish you didn't have to endure these 10 days of waiting. I cannot begin to understand what you must be going through, but know that I and so many others will always be available to listen, to laugh, to cry, to help, and to believe.
