My One Year Anniversary

Hey Blogland. I wanted to share something with you today. It proves that I too am a human being & can suffer the same things everyone else does. The thing I am talking about today is Cancer. Yup the big C. It does not discriminate according to religion or race or nationality. Wednesday the 31st marks one year since my last surgery. My first surgery was in May 2010 for cervical cancer. I thought I was home clear after that only to find out that I also had uterine cancer & not only that, but he remaining outer area of my cervix was still harboring cancer cells & that had to be removed along with a giant chunk of my vaginal canal.

 Head rush to say the least. I was blown away.

 I don't wear this survivor thing on my sleeve (or shirt front as pictured in the above photos). I normally keep kinda quiet about it & if you know me at all you know that is a rare thing indeed. (me quiet? ha!)

I have yet to find a doctor up here to go to. Call me chicken if you want. About this, yup I am a chicken. I know I need to find a doctor & go. I am now three months overdue for my quarterly check up. The Hubs is on my case to get to a doctor. I myself know I need to go. I am dragging my heels this time & I am not sure why. Do I worry about it? Oh yeah, I worry. But seeing as my entire female inside parts have been ripped out of me, I wonder what I am worrying about. There is nothing else left to take. I told my doctor in Florida to take both ovaries too since they were next on the list to go funky on me. I did not want a zipper installed to make things easier for future removals. Guess I am just a bit bummed & feeling sorry for myself. Gotta snap out of it & move on. Thanks for letting me vent......I feel better now but still not reaching for the phone book to find a doctor in the area just yet.

Sorry Hubby.

Back and going on

Hi to everyone who might one day read this. I am back after having a very trying year. I have had two different surgeries due to nasty cancer cells in my cervix and in my uterus. I am into week 5 of recovering from a total abdominal hysterectomy. My doctor, Dr. Jaz totally saved me! What a gem she is. Before & after my surgeries I have been surfing the interwebz & have found some really cool sites. Some about baking and some about crafting. ( what kind of witch would I be if I did not"cook" things up or I was not "crafty"?) I am working on some crafts & will post pics & stuff here in the near future. (translation: once my son gets over here with his digital camera cause I do not have one yet due to being out of work for almost a year thanks to health issues) I do want to send a "shout out" to my husband, children & family members who have been so supportive & caring during this screwed up time in my life. Now I am just waiting for the chin hairs to start to grow & then I can look like a Halloween Witch all year round! I will be posting links to the cool sites I found. You have to check these out. They are awesome. So I wish you health, luck, yummy baked goods & cool crafts!
Blessed Be
