Surgery

Feb 22nd

I know everyone has been asking about surgery and we have a date of March 14th at 7:00 AM. If there is a cancellation they will move it up but I have pushed, hounded and been more than aggressive to try to get it scheduled sooner but to no avail! So as much as I know all of you are feeling wow that is far out, trust me no where near as much as I am feeling anxious and completely pissed off! I want Lucifer gone, but I have to trust my doctors unfortunately I am not feeling the love today!

So the other news is the scans that were done on Feb 13th after 4 rounds of intense chemo, revealed that the mass had not grown but it had not shrunk either. We were hoping for shrinkage at the very least so a kick in the stomach for sure! With this news it adds another level of complexity and if indeed the tentacles around my artery are an extension of the mass then we will bring in a specialist to do the IRE procedure to kill off these pieces of the mass that are not easy to get to through surgery and the Whipple procedure. Yes a lot to absorb but we are all trying to stay positive and we will spend the next three weeks getting stronger, putting on some weight, I know you never thought that would come out of my mouth – but yes they told me to eat whatever I wanted! Woot woot! I will follow doctors orders, continue to pray for god’s support to help me get through this and take this time to get ready for the next 8 weeks after surgery!

At least my hair is freshly colored and cut to look more glamorous and healthy going into the hospital. My stylist Claire was so surprised that I still had just as much if not more hair then when I started! She is also the one who sent the beautiful flowers and forgot to put her name on it! I love me some Claire! Everyone has been so supportive and loving and I can’t thank you enough for that! My old friends from high school have reached out with wonderful memories and loads of love from Thailand – thanks to the Markarian family and JAB for making a girl feel loved and remembered. I love my mob of warriors and the support you have given me, Steve, Millie and our extended family! More to come as I learn it.

  2. I know that you want it to be sooner but this will give you time to catch up on things that you will not be able to do for awhile after surgery. Also time to get together a list of things that you can do while recovering, things you can do sitting, because we all know that sitting is not something that comes to you naturally. LOL XOXOXO
