Wow I can't be grateful enough for all of the support. Srsly.
To answer questions: I've always had a lot of pain in my "lower" area, but when I started going to the doctor when I was 16 for it, they said since I hadn't had sex (yes, late bloomer), they weren't going to test for anything serious. Well the pain continued, and when I was 20 I went back to get tested (since I met the criteria then haha) and it turned out I had the beginning stages of Ovarian cancer. SO the surgery I had was to get rid of the cancerous cells in my ovaries, but it wasn't TOO big of a deal since it was pre-cancerous. The past couple of months the pain has gotten worse and worse, turns out it came back, is all over my ovaries, and spread to my cervix as well as my uterus. Right now it looks like they're going to have to hack at my ovaries again & remove my cervix... we'll find out in a couple weeks if I have to have a full hysterectomy. Scary thing is, it's already 4 months along (cause my doctor was a dip and didn't do the right tests) and they're trying to drag it out longer... Which for those who know people who have had cancer... dragging out = more spreading.
I just spent the whole morning getting blood tests and scans and x-rays and whatever else, and now I'm in pain, sore, and have a headache from it all. :(
I'm lucky to have really cheery people all around me supporting me telling me we'll take it one day at a time. And I couldn't be more grateful for the bf at this moment, he's been so optimistic and fantastic.
My mood kinda varies from anger to shock to depression to ok to back again. It's little thoughts that pop up into my head at random thoughts that make me panic a little. I hate thinking of myself as "broken", so I refuse to do it. I'm a little afraid of the surgeries & chemo though.
And thank you everyone for your love & wishes... even though it's "just TA" it means a lot. Eric, fedex me your jacket, and Scott I have one thing to say to you. "I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Oh, and online poker ftw! |

The best advice I have is always have someone with you, it helps him and stay strong. You can beat it, people have gotten through worse .. wish you the best of luck and Im sending tons of support <3 good luck! |

Weirdly enough, in my head... if I talk about it, it seems as though it's not that big of a deal... and if it seems like it's not that big of a deal, I panic less. |

| I didn't say this earlier, but a little over a year ago I lost my grandfather to cancer. Terminal pancreatic cancer to be more specific. They gave him 6 months, and he passed less than 12hrs after my sister, her fiancee, and I arrived in Boise, Idaho. This was 6 weeks after diagnosis. It is still hard for me to think about. Was really close with him. So I feel your pain in a different way. :) |
