Surgery thoughts

My visit with Dr. Moxley went pretty good, I think.  She was simply amazing.  She and her staff took the time to explain to me what was going on, and what to expect.  They didn't really try to sugarcoat anything, which is what I appreciate.  She told me that the cancer is significant but manageable.  She also said that if there was a "good" cancer to get, this was it, if that makes any sense.  She thinks that the cancer was found early, so I'm grateful for that.  They're going to do a complete hysterectomy and remove some lymph nodes.  I'll be out of work for a minimum of 2 months, if there aren't any complications.  I hope not.  I would miss my co-workers.  Not to mention I hate not being able to do anything for myself, seeing that I'm an independent person.  And the chemo...ugh, I don't want to think about that.  :-/  but I'm ready for anything that comes my way.  I have the love and support of wonderful friends and family.  I'll be fine.  :-)
