I just got back from oncologist....news is good......the cancer is at the furtherest background of the uterus......he is turning me back over to my GYN to do the total hysterectomy and doubt that any lymph nodes will have to be removed.......My GYN is out of town this week so he said if she could not meet the schedule of doing it the 20th, that he would do it himself rather than just assisting her. no chem, no radiation......remove everything and I am through....3-4 days in hospital and 4 weeks recovery..........Praise God.........
 

Good news, God blessed you nanna, afterall.

God blessed you nanant! You are a tough lady and will kick it in no time.
 I had a complete hysterectomy back in 1996 or so and within a few weeks I was putting rocks in my yard.

good News!

That is wonderful news nannat...
 
Some may disagree, but I do hope the power of prayer helped...
 
We're all pullin' for ya...

Now, onward and upward to a full and speedy recovery !!!

Keep smiling, girl.  That's good news!

I think you can call it a blessing in disguise Nanna and I am so glad for you.  Keep us posted and in a few weeks time this will all be behind you.  I will keep you in my prayers.

Ditto all that from me too.

Prostate, Breast and reproductive organs should all be reviewed by God for a quality improvement change. His first designs aren't working out too well.

Takn, it does not matter to me whether some disagree with the power of prayer or not.....I KNOW if works for me, if it had not been for my talks with God, I could not have gotten through this rollercoaster of emtions I was having.......
 
Mud, I strongly believe we are all given trials to go through here on earth to give us strength, to test our faith, etc so that when we go to the other side, we can be awarded our "castle" or position where we will do our best in the presence of God.....I think this is where we "earn" our place in whatever level of Heaven we end up in........I believe that we will all have jobs to do there and not just stand around twiddling our thumbs and what postions we gain will be from the work, trials, prosecutions, tribulations, etc we encountered and how we worked through them and whether we trusted God and our faith to get us through them here on earth............God does not make faulty equiptment..........He has a purpose for everything we go through.......

Sorry, meant to add my thanks to all you for your prayers and thoughts.........Mom was taking it very hard, so was so good to give her the good news yesterday........odd consequence was that my surgery comes almost one year to the date of her breast cancer surgery last year.....my surgery is scheduled for July 20 and her's was the 28th last year........freaky......

How's your mom doing?

She is doing great for the most part.......no problems with breast cancer since she takes the estrogen blocker............was said she was having TIAs but neuro said she was not and that she was having strokes........ran tests and have not heard back yet........possibly could be from the RA that she has throughout her body and she was not taking her meds like she was suppose to be........I will just be glad when I can get her at our new home (once we get one) so that I can keep a close eye on her and make sure she takes what she is suppose to...she is 82 now..........she was taking my cancer really hard but now with the good news, I hope she will deal more with her own health than worrying about me......
